If you boot into Tails you'll have Tor and the Electrum wallet out of the box.
You can talk to Iranians in Session (getsession.org), press "Join a Community" and you'll see the Iranian group. Their very presense means that Lokinet is not censored.
Do you know anything about how people can obtain bitcoin in Iran? I assume locally…
I heard that tether is being used to move funds out of the country when people leave and want to take their money with them.

Yeah, all the border checks to search for money are a joke. You can carry any amount of money in your head. Doesn't matter if it's bitcoin, tether or whatever.
I don't know, ask Iranians. Generic answers would be ATMs (coinatmradar), robosats, agoradesk. There should be a lot of miners in Iran due to low electricity prices, they should be selling. If everything else fails, in Turkey or Georgia finding bitcoin is easier.

I appreciate this a lot, haven’t heard of Tails or Session before, thanks!
