As a side note, I wouldn't put it past a company of any of these countries to effectively resell the software to US companies, effectively bypassing the sanctions in a similar partnership fashion.
On another note, how do you distinguish between a well meaning iranian asking you to do something illegal for money, and an iranian that is just trying to scam you. I'm not saying that this is the case, but the very intense regime would force anyone participating in this to forego the legal mechanisms that would make doing business somewhat safe to begin with. How do you bring a dispute to court if it arises? You would have to confess to a federal crime?
Sorry man, I wish you luck, but nothing we can do here.
