Iran was never a crypto friendly country.What else do you expect?
I remember that there were news about Iran creating their own cryptocurrency,in order to avoid US sanctions.
I don't know what happened with this project,but creating a centralized shitcoin doesn't mean that Iran is a cryptocurrency friendly country.I assume that there are deficits in electricity supply,but I'm familiar with the situation there.
In one news, Iran announces the production of national digital currencies, but in the next news, it considers digital currency completely unusable and dangerous.
In the city of Kerman, sets up an mining farm and in the new news, he considers the purchase and sale of digital currencies a crime!
In Turkey, I am very happy with the government's support for bitcoin. I can sell my digital currencies without intermediaries whenever I want.
Due to the high cost of electricity, I do not mine bitcoins, but my family, who are in Iran and use cheap electricity, why should not mine?
Or why should they not exchange digital currencies legally? This is an injustice
The iranian government circumvents US sanctions by mining Bitcoin. Up to 4,5% of all BTC are mined by gigantic mining farms in Iran.

Very two faced of them to then block mining for ordinary citizens.
