Such stores have been a favorite of Iranian diplomats posted to and visiting New York because they are able to buy large quantities of products not available in their economically isolated country for relatively cheap prices and send them home.

I mean don't you think they can just get someone else (who might already be here or a friend from another delegation) to do it for them?? I don't see how that'll stop anything it's just an extra step.
