#2 ISIS is supported by Iran because the existence and terrible behavior of ISIS gives legitimacy to Iran's interventions in Iraq and in Syria.
It also weakens and tends to discredit the Sunni population of Iraq, some of which is under ISIS control and some of which is occupied in fighting against ISIS, and hence unable to oppose Irani influence in the country, as it might otherwise do.
