I think he refers to:
"You may not provide CentOS software or technical information to individuals or entities located in one of these countries or otherwise subject to these restrictions.“
He fears that he’s held responsible if someone from Iran uses e.g. his mirror to download the stuff.
Maybe thinking of this incident:
