Iran made ban on bitcoin mining after gathering information of mining farms around the country. According to the data it is clear that more than 90% miners were using illegal electricity and without proper licensing. Only 5-10% were doing it in a legal way with proper licensing from the respective authorities. This illegal usage of electricity resulted on the deficit of day to day needs around the country. Now the government might've made required changes and lifted the ban.

Besides the pretty good news about Bitcoin adoption, of course it can't be separated from the involvement of supportive government policies. However, I want to know more about how the government in Iran is often associated with Crypto payment transactions for illegal activities such as weapons payments to fund terrorists. I hope that the government can minimize this in the future if mining activities will reopen in the near future.

There is got to have something they have done or do before lifting the ban. So the government is going to regulate Bitcoin Mining or will the government also join in mining just like El Salvador?

Either, it will be good for the country that is so much affected by sanctions and the recent political disputes. It's time to reclaim back Iran's glory, this country was once very rich. My father use to tell stories about the country when he was there in the 50s.

Iran is one the biggest producer of oil in the world and there annual revenue of oil sales is 60 billion USD, I don't know why are they facing shortage of electricity. One possible reason for BTC mining ban may be that Iran government want BTC miners to pay electricity bill of commercial user (like payed by shops and industrial users) not as a domestic user.

Iran is a middle eastern country that does have a big influence on economic growth. In line with the pretty good things, they are starting to lift the ban and will start operating indicating that there is an arrangement to re-take over the position as a sovereign country over the economic industry, especially adding crypto in it.

As with my current opinion, we still find that there is a ban on every exchange allowing Iran to transact crypto. To complete the country blocking, confirmation from the government is needed so that it can also lift Iran's restrictions on exchange.

Any government would definitely do the same which it is understandable that they would really be making out such step whenever there are illegal activities or something that violates out.
Government could impose such ban and its no surprise that Bitcoin mining was included into it but for sure they had already realized something on thats why they had lifted out the ban.
This would be a good example in showing off that there would be specific consequences when you do violate something but well this is just  those typical government
kind of decision making.

Reduced rain (reduced hydroelectric production), Sanctions (preventing maintenance of some fossil fuel power plants), Increase in electricity export to neighbor countries such as Iraq, and finally a couple of incidents that caused sudden drop in production including some cases of sabotage and terrorist attack against Iranian infrastructure which shifted focus on the power grid.

I should add that the electricity issues began in 2020 for a short duration and the biggest issue was about 2 months in 2021 during summer and they have all been resolved already.

It wasn't exactly a ban, it was more like a "pause" to reduce the electricity usage as the production dropped and natural usage during summer increased. I also believe that the evidence suggest that most mining farms didn't stop mining and the news about the ban was mainly a show.

to be honest is better that crypto is taxed/good regulated, why? because when miner or crypto trader taxed there's income to government and ban most likely will be lifted or crypto become legal

but this just my opinion tho

It's good that the ban was lifted, but what does it mean that only licensed miners can come back to their activities? I mean, what are the tax implications, does the license cost anything and what other requirements they must go through? I think it's important to know the details because if the regulations are tough, it might be that mining is effectively out of reach, but only formally allowed to come back. Paying the electricity bills and some reasonable taxes is one thing, but obtaining a license, establishing headquarters and reporting regularly to the authorities would be very different.

In the span of 4 months, the Government of Iran might've probably made several changes, due to shortage of electricity, they had to implement the ban even on those miners who are legally operating, but since the ban is now lifted, I think that everything will be back to normal and these illegal miners cannot operate anymore.
