Are you not aware of the great firewall?

Different. Iran's proposal would, if enacted, literally makes communications to the outside world impossible, since they are literally disconnecting the internet from the outside. It's more like North Korea. In constrast, VPNs are still a thing in China... for now at least. Not every western site gets blocked. There's a Chinese lemmy instance btw. Information flows in and out of China all the time.

North Korea has connection to Russia, where they then connect to rest of the world. Otherwise they could not constantly hack everyone and steal cryptos
