Why is it okay to attack Iran? Unless in a state of war, it seems just as “not-evil” to do this to the US or UK, no?

It also hit much wider than just Iran's centrifuges.

Iran funds, plans and executes terrorist attacks around the world, including Europe and the United States (via proxy organizations, and it also mostly fails, which is nice).

Iran supplies Russia with drones for its war with Ukraine (obviously this is after Stuxnet, but just pointing out they are aligned with Russia/China against the West).

Iran openly calls for the destruction of the United States and Israel (can you guess where its future nuclear weapons will be pointed at?).

How is it not okay for the United States and Israel to sabotage their nuclear program? How is it equivalent to sabotaging the UK?

That's semantics. The US does much much worse things, but because the US or the EU brand something "terrorist" then those that support it in one way or another are evil?

How many have Iran killed? The war on terror alone have caused more than 500.000 deaths. Sure you can say Iran is evil, but nothing you said makes them an okay target more than the US, UK, EU, etc.

How does Iran call for destruction of US? And why?
