Iranian officials have stated the blackouts will continue for at least a month. Many think the causes of the blackouts are bitcoin miners or high consumption of energy in the summer months. However, according to Iranian officials and experts, the blackouts are caused mainly by the lack of investment in Iran\u2019s infrastructure and deterioration of the electricity distribution networks, in addition to bitcoin miners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/irannewswire.org\/what-is-behind-irans-blackouts\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-news-in-brief-news\/iran-news-in-brief-july-8-2021\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Read more: <\/strong><strong style=\"color: #222222;
