"full control over the internet" is distinct from control over US corporations. Dot biz is operated by Neustar and they are based in Virginia and thus subject to US Courts.

For example, they likely would have had less success enforcing a change on a .ir domain as the registry isn't located in US jurisdiction.



I bet that the US were not above to forcing the root DNS server providers to redirect the NS for .ir to some 3-letter-agency.
