One pretends to have some democratic principles and one pretends to be an ally. Both are breeding grounds for anti-Western sentiments and extremism. I'm happy to see the two of them beat the crap out of each other.
I certainly wouldn't shed a tear. One important distinction though, SA isn't trying to develop nuclear weapons they could then give to jihadists.

Iran can feed their people, isn't ravaged by AIDs, malaria, , and isn't rampant with warlords leading child soldiers.
Even if you exclude Africa, I still am not 100% sure they make the Top-5 cut. In no real order... Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, Haiti, and North Korea all seem like pretty easy choices before Iran. I'm sure there's a couple more I am forgetting and some more on top of that which are in the conversation.
Iran is pretty awful, but they are far from the cellar at the end of the day.
I'm not talking about the shape the country is in, I'm talking about how "evil" their government is. My top four would be, in no particular order, China, Russia, N. Korea and Iran.
