Yes, I am sure.

Only 3.2.3 excludes flights between the Europe Zone and the Middle East Zone.

The on-line tool allows these flights
The BA fares team now allows them (it used not to, but I put the case to them that their interpretation was incorrect and they have now changed) - see the thread I linked to in my earlier post
AFAIK AA still misinterprets the rule. It did so back in January when I was trying to purchase my DONE5 from them, and I've heard no reports that they have changed
