So far 30 cryptocurrency mine facilities have been permitted by Iranian officials. There are various regions in crypto-mining farms, including the Province of Tehran. In response to a repression of illicit miners in the nation, the government has released the data.
Two provinces are based on a third authorized mining company

Two years ago, Iran legalized the legal practice of mining bitcoin.
The government has established a license system for organizations which wish to participate in the sector.
One investigation showed that last summer 14 bitcoin mining farms operated under these licences.
The Change of Tides by Iranian Miners
Initially, approved miners provided a reduction of roughly half the normal electricity rate—high cryptocurrency values and cheap energy costs make crypto-exporting into an appealing business in Iran.
However, things changed and the power shortages this year were partly attributed to the energy-intensive operation of currency minting.
Around May, officials stated that in peak hours, they will pull the plug on licensed crypto miners.
Authorized mining facilities consume around 300 megawatt of power every day according to official estimates.
Tehran has also been pursuing unlicensed miners, charging them with consuming over 2,000 megawatts a day. The electrical shortfall in the country is 5.000 megawatts, according to the state-owned electricity company Tavanir. Ultimately, Iran decided, until 22 Sept, to prohibit crypto mining.
Over 180 crypto farms in Tehran alone have been busted down by Iranian law enforcement in a year.
Previously, 3,000 items of mining equipment were taken by police from illicit businesses in June.
The Iranian police confiscated 7,000 bitcoin mining equipment last week.
