They are used to extracting bitcoins. In this regard, China Has built a bitcoin mining center with a power consumption of 175 MW in the Rafsanjan Special Economic Zone. Also, China has launched10,000 devices have during the first phase of this project.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo far, we have identified about 1,600 unauthorized centers,\u201d said, director-general of international affairs of the Tavanir(Electric Power Industry Company).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/terrorism\/6805-terrorism-and-suppression-the-core-of-iran-s-irgc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IRGC <\/a>uses Bitcoin mining to circumvent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iranfocus.com\/en\/component\/tags\/tag\/iran-sanctions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sanctions <\/a>and the international banking system. The <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/look-irans-revolutionary-guards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IRGC <\/a>uses Bitcoin because its exchanges are not registered anywhere, and the identities of the parties to the transaction are not identifiable.

But if the two countries reach an agreement, it could create a rift for the regime to circumvent sanctions. In this regard, Iran has joint cooperation with China and Venezuela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, since it is in an economic impasse, the regime has extracted bitcoins by stealing people\u2019s electricity by establishing digital farms exclusively owned by the <a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/terrorism\/6805-terrorism-and-suppression-the-core-of-iran-s-irgc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IRGC<\/a>.
