Less so with Alanis herself I would imagine.
Unless one or the other was being ironic I guess.

Dictionaries weren’t enough, but a comedy sketch is?There you goLeParisien the perfect explanation of irony if you really do want to understand why it isn’t sarcasm
Maybe this is clearer for you: What is the difference between irony and sarcasm? An fMRI study - PubMed
All sarcasm is irony but not all irony is sarcasm. Sarcasm is a form of verbal irony. You are focused on situational irony which is not sarcasm. However sarcasm is always verbal irony (even if verbal irony isn’t always sarcasm).
We really are fucked when dictionaries are no longer trusted to give the meaning of words.
You did post an American source there, which is a dictionary full of spelling mistakes.

An article on yourdictionary.com is not as authoritative as the Oxford English Dictionary.Sometimes different dictionaries give different meanings.
Exploring the Difference Between Irony and Sarcasm
We break down irony vs sarcasm to explore & explain the differences between them. Includes definitions, types of irony and sarcasm, and examples of both.www.yourdictionary.com
The woman who wrote this article is a cretin. For a start, she has put B.A. after her name which is a little too pompous for something so banal. If it were a PhD then someone might care but anything less than that actually has the effect of making you seem more stupid, not less.
But to the point, and this is great situational irony, she links a definition of irony and then completely ignores the meaning of those words in her explanation.
Isn’t it ironic? Just a little bit.
The only dictionary source I’ve linked to is the Oxford English Dictionary.
Oxford is famously in England.

Ok I give up.
I can’t wait to see your next source. Let’s hear from Kanye West on the Holocaust. Or Donald Duck on vaccines.
Weird your link took me to What is the difference between irony and sarcasm? An fMRI study - PubMed
not oed.com
My joke is that dictionaries don't always even spell things correctly when American, so might not be as trustworthy as one might hope.
But you have something much more important going on to realise - an Internet argument.
There's an Oxford is Mississipi too, which is famously in USA!
Kanye West absolutely understands irony better than you do

There is more to irony than situational irony.
I can’t say it any clearer. Use a dictionary to gain a better understanding rather than just your intuitions.
Try to understand dramatically irony and verbal irony. Don’t trust me. Investigate yourself.
Oxford English Dictionary
The OED is the definitive record of the English language, featuring 600,000 words, 3 million quotations, and over 1,000 years of English.

Ok doesn't appear in the OED?
OK, okay, O.K.
Oh, being a massive pedant dick is making me feel really important, smart and slightly aroused. I'm going to tell everyone at my artisan bakery club later how this all played out and boy they will be impressed.
And didn’t we have a semi-decent U21 of Indian heritage called Malwidinny or something who was the first South Asian to play in the premier league? Last I knew he didn’t make it with us and was plying his trade in L1/L2.
Ok let’s move on. We can police ourselves on this.
This signing is clearly part of a broader trend under Lange of using data to identify young, high potential players.
Takai added to…
Gray
Odobert
Bergvall
Kinsky
Tel
Min-Hyeok Yang
Combined with Vuskovic and some academy prospects and we have some exceptional talents coming through.
They are being given game time too which is important for their development and gives them the best chance of becoming the players we hope they can be.
Could be very exciting in a couple of years.
