Q: facetime

What "country" are you in?

Read this ALL carefully first, then act...

If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support

Apple has no services in Iran

from what I read in the news, you should hide your iPhone...

Blame your government. The activation is being blocked by your carrier at the direction of your government.

Apple did not "block" your country. Apple does not do business in your country. You want to know why? Ask your government. They do not exactly go out of their way to attract foreign businesses.

They ought to... that way, they could get  boatloads of products INTO the country, confiscate 'em, then sell on the black market OUTSIDE the country... pretty good scam if you ask me.
