They do know that Antarctica isn’t any one countries’ territory and their claim will just be ignored, right? And any enforcement of their so called claim will likely have a multi national response of “like da fuck you do”.
Kinda the point. Countries have claims but there isn’t any real teeth to any of those claims. There aren’t border gaurds and there isn’t a military presence that would be able to do much. If Iranians tried the countries that have research stations would definitely remind them of the Antarctic Treaty.

I’d like to see them attempt to take and fortify the continent of Antarctica. That would be fun.
It would be quite interesting.
If anyone is going to do well in the Antarctic environment, it’s going to be Iran.
They have to fight the ice lich Trotsky and hisz penguin army first.
There are already several overlapping claims on various areas of Antarctica.

Well there’s two teeth: carrier groups and long range bombers. In general folks keep it civil down there
Partly, I assume, because nature is decidedly incivil.
