I'm going with B. Gotta keep those Iraqi funds flowing, am I right? It's not like they're gonna use it to fund any, you know, terrorist activities or anything.

D is the best answer. Might as well go for broke and notify OFAC right away, just to cover your bases. It's like my grandma used to say, 'When in doubt, rat them out!'

I think blocking the transfer might be too extreme, but notifying OFAC immediately after conducting the transfer seems like a good compromise.
