Iran was mining bitcoin for years. They have made a big stockpile through very early purchases and mining. It has use for them.
Current campaigns of the USA aims more to economical pressure and that gives incentive to reduce the price of bitcoin, regulate stable coins and press the alt coins. I don’t have insider but this is aligned with their policies.
They have attacked frozen and confiscated crypto assets belonging to Iran that validate this. There are other validators like Iran paying bitcoin to get things done.
Higher BTC prices is in favour of Iran and vice versa.
I hope this gives you some clarity over your trades.
