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.
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.
