This question is very subjective, and obviously not all Jews think alike.
I believe that hating a nation or a country is quite silly and unfair idea, while disliking a certain regime's policy and statements is ok, and even understandable.
Iran has a huge community of Jews who live there since 586 b.c.e, and live peacefully with their neighbors. This community is very rich, educated, and very respected among the other Jewish communities.
Do remember that Israel had has good relations with Iran until the Iranian Revolution in 1979, and that Israel used to trade with Iran, while many Israelis traveled in Iran.
We "hate" neither Iran, nor the Iranian nation and culture. We definitely don't like Ahmadinejad's statements and policy of harming Israel, though.

I'm not Jewish, but have had a lot of Jewish friends and generally they didn't hate Iranians or Arabs.
I have also had a few Iranian friends and they didn't hate Jews. When the Shah was still in place in Iran the relationship between Tehran and Jerusalem was reasonably friendly.
The Jews in Israel very ably defend themselves, as I would do if I were in their place. If Iran becomes a threat to Israel I'm sure Israel will consider ways to manage that threat.

I'm neither Jewish not Iranian but I don't think either one hates the other.
Muslims the world over hate Zionism.

Sweetheart, there are some people of all ethnic groups who hate people from other ethnic groups, but you CANNOT overgeneralize and say that all people of "group A" hate all people of "group B".
In other words, I'm sure there are some Jewish people who hate Iranians, but not all of them. And I'd bet money that some Iranians hate Jews!

As a group there are two things I noticed. They do not think highly of hardly anyone who is not jewish and yet knowing full well they think they are better I feel comfortable in their presence, i do empty my pockets b4 visiting however cuz I do not want to be nickel and dimed to death with my own change.
Arabs and Jews have been at eachothers throats since b4 exodus

No. How can you even ask this sort of question?
Let's ask another shall we?
Do the English hate the Irish?
Do the blacks hate the whites?
Do the whites hate the blacks? etc etc.
I'm Jewish, and the only people I despise (other than politicians), are those that help breed hatred between different groups.
