 The Central Bank of Iran, in an effort to control exchange rates (effectively lowering the national currency's value), has decided to freeze the bank accounts of all cryptocurrency exchanges and payment service providers.

 That's what centralised systems do. It will happen to US and EU as well.

 not good to be over-reliant on custodians. the time will come when cryptocurrency networks which can't support a large number of concurrent non-custodial users will start to fail. say no to custodial wallets, centralized escrow payment processors, and centralized exchanges. they can't help you.

 No it's not. It relates to our government not others. Although Binance banned Iranian accounts 2 years ago.

 اگه خیلی پول رو نیاز دارید یه راه هست، احتیاط داره البته. فکر کنم هنوز میشه تتر برداشت کرد. اگه به صرافی ها حضوری مراجعه کنید خیلی هاشون تتر قبول می کنن. 
ولی به نظرم یکم صبر کنیم درگاه هاشون باز میشه، بعیده طولانی مدت ببندنش.
