In Iran, 'Taarof' is key. 'امکانش نیست' is a way to decline without being seen as 'bad' or 'uncooperative'. Similar usage, though often slightly more formal in written correspondence. The phrase is understood, though 'имкон нест' (imkon nest) is the standard Tajik script version. Used by Iranians abroad to maintain a polite, professional boundary in multicultural workplaces.
