Iran does not have a special capital gains regime for private crypto; any taxable crypto profits for a resident individual are generally treated under ordinary income tax bands (which can go up to about 35%) rather than becoming tax‑free after a holding period.
“Iran does not have a dedicated crypto tax law; instead, crypto-related income may be taxed under existing income and corporate tax rules administered by the Iranian National Tax Administration (INTA)... Iran does not operate a standalone capital gains tax regime for individuals. Gains are typically taxed as income if they are taxable at all.” — Iranian National Tax Administration (via secondary summary)
