Yep, the current US administration is somewhat to blame on the shift. It has always been a requirement, it's just that the government up until this admin mostly didn't care to enforce it. It's pretty obvious a number of companies got threatening letters to comply or face jail time.

When I did some googling, I found an article from 2012 about sanctions enforcement (https://www.itproportal.com/2012/10/26/ibm-questioned-over-a...). I am unaware of new behavior regarding sanctions enforcement, although I know that the current administration imposed additional sanctions. But my understanding is that with existing sanctions, this is what the US government has always done.
