So practically speaking, what will happen if Twitter ignores Iranian law and allows IPs from that country to use their platform anyway? I don't think the US govt will enforce Iranian law for them...

The consequence within Iran is Twitter will be sanctioned if they ever attempt to create and operate a legal entity there. So who cares, right?

More like the IRG doing cybers on you. Iran doesn't have much leverage besides that.

As for who might care: twitter might. They may have to spend more money on defence, on screening people when hiring them, and on legal to make sure they aren't getting sued in the US for discrimination, data leaks or whatever else people might come up with if they keep (accidentally) hiring foreign intelligence officers without checking who they are.
