Interesting comment in the article - someone said that it would instructive to see what would happen if the court had handed the domain over. The rest of the world would view the update as a global attack on the integrity of the DNS system and start ignoring DNS updates from the US.
While I am not 100% convinced that this would actually happen (it might, but might not), it would at least be technically possible to change what everyone in the US sees when they look a .ir domain. Could have been a popcorn moment.
