There has been an official mirror for Iran ftp.ir.debian.org on and off
since around 2014. The first mirror in Iran seems to have been added to
the mirror list in 2013. There are currently six different mirrors in
Iran but no public mirrors in Syria/Cuba in the mirrors list though.

There already are Russian Debian derivatives like Astra Linux, so
presumably this is fine.
