I'll be here for the few hours and then again at around 1 pm PST for another few hours. As usual, there are countless possible topics and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases for obvious liability reasons because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and comments and I'll try to do the same in my answers. Thanks!

From abroad? From an immigration perspective, there are no issues but other export controls/commerce laws might come into play.

Iranian citizen already in the US with a valid H1-B visa. I have seen articles mentioning that Iranian citizens are not allowed to open a corporation in the US. Is this true? And is it possible to change status of H1-B to O-1 after registering the business. Thanks.
