When I try to search graphic designers and put location as Iran, It says No matching location found.
This is not entirely unexpected. Iran is under various sanctions and probably US companies are not allowed to do any business over there.

Yeah I know about the sanctions I'm not from the stone age 😄
I just thought that since upwork is an open marketplace it wouldn't submit to that
but thanks anyway!

Then why were you all flabbergasted that a US-based company can not do business with individuals in a sanctioned country?

re: "And what will be the consequence , for a US comopany ,of not submitting to US sanction."
I don't know.
Maybe there would be no consequence.
Maybe the company would be shut down and all of its executives would be put in jail.
I think Upwork doesn't want to find out by defying the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control, in order to find out what the consequences would be.
