Regardless of the importance of the Iranian IP to the operation, it is of very little significance to the story. Mentioning it only really serves to act as clickbait for people who don’t understand that it’s possible to stand up a server anywhere in a few minutes, and who are predisposed to think that an Iranian IP makes everything extra ominous.

The Iranian IP is important because it means its unlikely that we'll ever get any data from the server. If it was in the US or EU, its much more likely we could subpoena it and figure out more about whats going on.

I read the article a few times and I don't think there is any anti-Iran sentiment in it at all.
