People received an email from (tastyworks) that the UAE has been blacklisted by their US based clearing house and they will not be able to buy any stocks or options on their platform. Has anyone else experienced this issue with their brokerages as well?

Have not had any issues so far with other brokers.⁤
But I do not know that one you quoted.
