It has to do with a niche of people in the Middle East who seek supernatural powers from demons, and they believe that attracting the demons requires debasing themselves. They do things like roll around in piles of feces or starve themselves, acrue major debt, or other things that are obviously not good ideas... and they do it anyway.

In our context at work, Iranian Satanism is a euphemism for when people are doing something that makes their own job more difficult for no apparent reason, especially if they keep doing it anyway after it's pointed out. |
