If either the opponent or the permanent you control becomes an illegal target by the time Iroh's second ability resolves, the ability does nothing and you cannot choose to have the opponent gain control of the permanent.

Gameplay
Legendary Creature — Human Citizen Ally
When Iroh enters, create a Food token.
At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may have target opponent gain control of target permanent you control. When you do, create a 1/1 white Ally creature token. Put a +1/+1 counter on that token for each permanent you own that your opponents control.

If an opponent leaves the game, all permanents you gave to them will return to your control.
