That’s probably as a result of Apple’s compliance department action.
It’s technically Apple who bans the accounts but it’s the US government who makes them to do so.
Essentially, there are people and places that US government prohibits US companies to do business with. Not only US companies actually, anyone who wants to do business with US.
Syria, North Korea, Crimea, Belarus, Cuba etc. are terrible addresses to open an account with.
If you remember, Github banned Syrian developers.[0]
