Iran really should be preemptively striking Israel; I mean Israel is literally drawing up invasion plans.

It’s called deescalation through escalation.

America supports it when Israel does it, that means it’s okay.

Iran, go right ahead. Lebanon, go right ahead. Hamas, go right ahead.

Israel and America have already stated this is a perfectly valid reasoning. The rules of war go both ways.

Again: If America is the world ethics, these actions are perfectly valid. This is what America does.

This is what America does.

Except it isn't. USA does not preemptively attack countries which plan to attack USA, since nobody is doing that. USA wrecks and coups countries because they are either trying to leave the US hegemonic control or the ones that are simply appealing targets for imperialism.
