> Last year, a study found that 4.5% of all bitcoin mining was taking place in Iran...

So there is that.

But the story ultimately looks entirely based on a tweet [1] from an official that Google translates as:

> This week, the first official import order registration with #currency_currency worth 10 million dollars was successfully completed. By the end of September, the use of cryptocurrencies and smart contracts will be widespread in foreign trade with target countries.

So I agree that the story is pretty thin.
