Furthermore (which I've only just discovered), changing the location from IR to US doesn't mean that your mirror will be accepted and to be honest, this is quite deceptive conduct which I believe (and I feel I can speak on behalf of CentOS/RedHat) warrants
not wanting a certain mirror partner on the network. There are a number of systems in place that are used to confirm the location of a host, not to mention that you failed to change your hostnames and the IP address is an identical match for the submission
you submitted two days prior. As far as I know, CentOS cannot accept mirrors from a company based in a country with US sanctions, so regardless of whether or not you self-host or use a third-party to host your mirror (such as OVH, Rackspace, etc.) it still
cannot be accepted.</div>

And here's a tip - check your traceroutes. I highly doubt US-bound traffic from Australia would route to the US, over to Paris, on to Frankfurt then back to the US.</div>
