TEHRAN, Apr. 04 (ISNA)-The American Chemical Society (ACS) has rescinded the membership of 36 Iranian scientists after the society determined that having members in Iran violates U.S. law.

This society has also expressed hope that after the legal obstacles of this issue have been removed it will once again return these scientists membership.

Also the International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE) in a similar act has stopped sending requested magazines to Iranian engineers because it claims that doing so would be against the U.S. law.
