no more carpet or pesteh to US even for personal use?

I talked to a CBP officer and he said based on their new guidelines you can't even bring that stuff in for noncommercial use effective Sep 29. It's very possible they are going to be ceased at the airport. I don't know whether it's going to be enforced or not, but it is now prohibited to bring any item of Iranian origin with no exceptions.

I stopped bringing anything from Iran long time ago. You can get all you want right here and often even cheaper.

If anything their business should pick up since no more rugs will be imported for the forseeable future.

20 years ago, I knew some one in rug business who opened store in different cities so he can have going out of business sale in few month. He did this 4-5 times during 2 years we live in the same city.

Going out of business is the business of the Persian Rug owners. They put up a going out of business, telling people everything is markdown 70% to 80% discount when it was not, close down and move to some other place. I have seen them doing this over and over.

Their Grand Opening and Going Out of Business days are often on the same day. The same for New York electronic stores.
