why recently some iphone are getting lock?

there's been many cases about iPhone getting lock on Iran's IP! is there any particular reason for it?

some says it's because of using VPN and some says It's because changing passwords and security questions frequently.

does anyone knows the exact reason?

iPhone X, iOS 16

Hello,

Thank you for posting to the Apple Support Communities.

I belive Iran is not in the list of countries where Apple provides service. In that case you must have your account set to a different country, in which case trying to use a service from Iran may fall under this restriction: Legal - Apple Media Services - Apple
