This clause bars advertisers subject to or operating in US-sanctioned territories from using Pinterest ads, and the listed territories reflect current service unavailability tied to those sanctions.
Interpretive note: The clause contains two independent propositions: the sanctions prohibition and the current service unavailability in listed territories. The canonical claim states both because they are directly linked in the excerpt, but the omitted_material field records the service unavailability as a secondary independent proposition.
