Apologies if I misunderstood, but in this case wouldn't the workaround be equally as simple? For example one could manually set the dns resolvers of one's own device to 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4

yeah, they probably capture all DNS packets (or packets with answers?) and modify them. That is more effort than a couple of lines in DNS server config.

I haven't thought of it because I assumed Iran already has something like this in place && I didn't consider it as a part of effort of enforcing safe search (though it is)
