an admittedly biased source but with more or less first hand information is the chabad group which just smuggled or at least claims to have matzoh from the ukraine to iran for the passover holiday the news article states that members of the chabad organization smuggled a huge quantity of matzot into iran last week in order to enable local jews in the islamic republic to celebrate the passover according to tradition some jews currently live in iran the authorities allow them freedom to practice their religion but forbid the import of israel made products to the country an act that could cost a person three years imprisonment or the revoking of his passport for five years while they probably didn't get an exact census of the people they were delivering to i'd guess that they at least got the number reasonably correct so seems to be the way to go
