Progress Timeline
Activity Summary
Blocked in Syria. A community report in February 2026 noted that although the DALL-E site loads, the service is effectively unusable because it depends on ChatGPT, which is blocked in Syria. The team sent a follow-up to OpenAI in March 2026 naming DALL-E alongside its other products and asking for a single company-level compliance review; no resolution has followed.
Follow-up Sent
Official follow-up email sent from corporateaffairs@unblocksyria.com to support@openai.com. DALL-E was explicitly named alongside ChatGPT as blocked, with a request for a single corporate-level compliance review covering all three OpenAI products.

Work at OpenAI? Know someone who does?
Sanctions are lifted. Most companies just haven't updated their policies. A word from inside OpenAI can change that.
Tips for advocating
- Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams.
- Reference the lifted sanctions.
- Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria.
