From the introduction:

No, Debian isn't going to set up official mirrors in any of
those countries while they're on the T7 list. So there won't be an
ftp.iq.debian.org machine for a while. That doesn't mean we're going to go
out of our way to block people in Iraq or wherever from mirroring Debian.
