I'll be completely honest and direct: there must be a crackdown on such attempts to recruit clueless teenagers - and not just in terms of shutting down those channels, or banning Muslim Brotherhood & IRGC, but also communicating to teenagers that Iranian regime is an Islamic fundamentalist reigme that has done most atrocious acts against populations across the world, and its own.

and that's why it's important to call out progressives who share bed with supporters of Iranian regime in UK across various fields, especially when party leaders or deputy leaders engage in it themselves (such as certain activists in GPEW/YP). failure to do so will only give more fuel for racists & Islamophobes.

and in this situation, moderate Muslims - including yours truly - must be vocal about it.
