It's a software thing.

doas echo "StrictNodes 1 \n ExcludeNodes {IR}" >> /etc/tor/torrc

Interesting stuff anon, anyone hear any news that might explain why this might be happening? Looks like something started going on towards the end of May, maybe increased censorship by the Iranian government?

Not OP but the last time I saw they were stocking Uranium. Maybe some journalists got there to cover this story and are opening Tor relays?
This wouldn't explain a increase of 29% though.

>This is me just speculating
Maybe systems infected with some sort of latent malware that only targets machines in Iran? Before a "hot" incident, they get activated and they turn into Tor nodes so foreign glowers in the country can exfiltrate intelligence for preemptive planning.

Considering recent events, this is probably a Buttnet(TM) of US GOV, perhaps though, this could potentially be used to deanonymize tor users but I think they have safeguards against this.
