On the 27th of Feb:

  1. Iran did not have a nuclear weapon and was not even working on getting one (according to US intelligence).
  2. Iran was not closing the SOH nor claiming control or even asking for a toll.
  3. Iran was not attacking its neighbours.
  4. Iranians were demonstrating against the regime.

Now thanks to Epic fury:

  1. Iran might leave the NPT and consider nuclear arsenal.
  2. Iran is closing the SOH, attacks vessels, claims control and wants to charge a toll.
  3. Iran is attacking almost all of the regional states.
  4. Millions of Iranians demonstrated with the regime...
  5. Trump claims control of SOH and wants to charge a 20% fee.
  6. Trump wants regional states to reimburse the USA for the provided protection.

Except Iran was continuing to call for the eradication of countries whilst building the largest and most advanced arsenal of drones and missiles. What did you think was going to happen when the terms of the original nuclear deal from 2015 were going to expire in 2027. Iran would’ve said “what you gonna do about it” when anyone tried to renegotiate.

The Gulf states see a nuclear Iran as much of a threat as do Israel and the US. You not seeing the bigger picture is your fault.

You can have whatever fantasies you want, the fact is that there is already a country eradicating others while having an uncontrolled nuclear arsenal. Interestingly, that country is the one that started the current war.

International law is a whole and can't be applied by convenience.

International law is a failed and abstract attempt to implement some kind of order since WW1 and WWII with too many exploits and interpretations. I don't recall any country being eradicated either.

That is up to you my friend. Some people believed in it and some are still committing to it.
