It's sad that Irans government chooses to keep their country in the dark ages.
Same goes for China.

Not surprising considering how many global sanctions that have been placed on Iran lately. Especially to do with monetary flows.

In Iran, everybody uses VPN, not only the computer savvy paranoid bitcoin user. Without VPN, you can't see 95% (by traffic) of the internet. Facebook is popular but blocked without VPN.
I've recently read somewhere that VPNs are already prohibited by law in Iran. Government just hasn't started enforcing it yet. Do you have a source for that by chance? I can't find mine. 
Keep in mind that a lot of traffic from the region goes through proxies, VPNs, TOR etc., so I wouldn't consider these graphs too accurate.
I wonder how many Iranian users actually use bitcoin WITH their own IP. I would suspect the average computer savvy paranoid bitcoin user would use a VPN or Tor in fear of administrative punishment.

Please use the search facility of the forum. It's not that hard to type 'Iran' there and see if there is a very recent thread on the same topic.

Of course, but at least it gives an idea.

This is a good thing for bitcoin
Agreed, this could turn into a major outlet for funds if the financial screws get tighter.

A poor nerd risking to dangle at the end of a crane, or a new web shop for crude?
