1. It is a company complying with a boycott that is illegal in the US. 2. It must either stop their compliance or pay a fine. That's it. Nothing else. No fearmongering, just fact of their actions.

And yes, they do directly participate in the boycott. They are OWNED by a government that participates. Their related company ENFORCES it.
