being overtime-exempt means they're not required to pay me time & 1/2 for overtime, but they're not prohibited from doing so correct?

The primary job of an HR department is to stop the company from being sued, so if you escalate you ...

are there any laws or regulations that might disallow this sort of 'unofficial' economic bullying?
What you describe so far is not actionable. You have not suffered damages; your MD's statements are inconclusive on whether your continued employment is at risk if you continue your [valid] criticism; and the former employer simply is expressing how he intends ...

If you are ordinarily an Iranian resident (have not fled the country) then 31 CFR 560.419 still applies, even if you e.g. happen to be working in Europe.
