In addition to the above, Rouhani said, according to a report on his official website, that cryptocurrency investments are risky and “unprofessional entry into this field should be avoided.”

It is worth noting that Iran has not implemented any regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, but last year it changed the law to use bitcoins for imports.
