I’ve always been curious, why do Iranians chant “Death to America”?

Because the Iranian regime is led by revolutionary fanatics who encourage their supporters to shout that slogan - and who, more importantly, punish anyone who expresses opposition to that revolutionary ideology. Only about 20% of the population, at this point, is willing to shout, "Death to America." The rest will be disappointed that Trump is not willing to pursue regime change.
