10. Why

Well, the Iranian leaders are bat shit crazy and downright evil. Those that are not crazy are oligarchs that make Putin and Trump look like pikers. They also have a giant ego that makes them very thin skinned (like the Orange Won).

The cabal in charge are part of the nutty "twelever" offshoot cult of Islam (think Westboro Baptists X 100 in charge of a country).

Their goal is to actually bring about Armageddon and bring their Iman out of the well (really, go Google it), so they poke the bear.

I am not sure what can be done except either containing them and hoping for an eventual revolution of sane people or going ahead and poking them back.

And, finally, as I often reminded my late wife -- don't try to think like crazy people. Or try to figure out their motives. They are not rational and trying to think like them will make you crazy.
