Koran 60:4
You already have an excellent example in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people, “We totally dissociate ourselves from you and ˹shun˺ whatever ˹idols˺ you worship besides Allah. We reject you. The enmity and hatred that has arisen between us and you will last until you believe in Allah alone.” The only exception is when Abraham said to his father, “I will seek forgiveness for you,˹” adding, “but˺ I cannot protect you from Allah at all.” ˹The believers prayed,˺ “Our Lord! In You we trust. And to You we ˹always˺ turn. And to You is the final return
Notice the sentence,
The enmity and hatred that has arisen between us and you will last until you believe in Allah alone.”
"Enmity and hatred" between Moslems and infidels is irreconcilable. Either we must submit, or else.
Whereas Christians understand that no one can predict, or influence, the time of Jesus's return, Shia Moslems (Iranians) believe that they can incite the return of the Twelfth Imam, who will rule the earth.
This makes the Twelfth Imam appear to be the anti-Christ.
Given that the Iranian Mullahs firmly believe in their doctrine, then their zeal to obtain nuclear weapons is explained by a plan to use them to cause worldwide chaos, which is necessary for their prophecy.
All other explanations for "why they hate us" are moot. They believe that they are commanded by God to hate us. Like the Kamikazes who believed that Hirohito was a God, there is no hope of communing with them.
