why is the price of Bitcoin in Iran is more expensive than global prices?
Is it really possible for a country to determine the selling price of Bitcoin?

You are a Sr.Member in this forum how it is possible that you have missed this situation before?
There have been numerous accasions when this have happen:
1)Some country in South Africa, matbe it was Zimbawe
2)And how you did miss Japan prices while in the bubble?

these news articles about bitcoin being 25k in zimbabwe and 18k in nigeria etc are usually just bullshit.

Just like it's not true in this case either.

It isn't. The "news" that Bitcoin was selling for $24,000 in Iran was based on the incorrect exchange rate - the subsidized exchange rate of 1 USD to 42k IRR set by the government for imports of certain goods. The actual exchange rate of 1 USD to 140k IRR gives the real price.
