Seeing the huge geo political implication of the judgement, there can be 
no doubt whatsoever that the establishment will get moving quickly, with 
authority and power from the highest levels, to get this judgement 
annulled in some way... However, the real thing here is the *point of 
law* that the judgement highlights which shows in the following quote 
from the news story

""The United State District Court decided that the.ir domain name, along 
with Iran’s IP addresses ..... were assets that could be seized to 
satisfy judgments (of US courts)....".

While this point of law is quite obvious and all such, a US court making 
a clear assertion of it may shake some people in slumber.
