Not just since 2018.
So it is not possible to get into the country without a guide.

The original post was alleging that UK / US / Canadian passport holders are no longer allowed to drive, which is a separate issue (and would indeed be a new rule if it turns out to be true) from not being granted a visa without having booked a guided tour. And a separate issue to cars registered in these countries being banned from entry.
At the end of the day, there are all sorts of 'rules' which various agencies and bodies issue. They are often not the same as the status quo at the border. There are so many people driving through Iran these days that we'll soon hear if people are really being turned away for any reason.
So if one agency tells you that Brits / Americans / Canadians are not allowed to drive in Iran, try another agency. I'm pretty sure there were British Mongol Rallyers who drove through Iran this year.
As for British vehicles being banned, I know that to be incorrect as recently as October 2018.
