So abducting the leader of one country (against international law) and killing the leader of another country (against international law) is fine?

aims to obtain nuclear weapons

After a certain country shredded a nuclear deal and made it increasingly hard for international organizations to do inspections.

supports 4+ terrorist organizations in the Middle East

Because the US has never supported, funded, and trained terrorist organizations?

In this case, in contrast to Ukraine, it's also possible that both sides are the bad guys.

Depends on the leader and the country. Abducting or killing Hitler would be fine. The problem in this case was that killing the leader isn't enough to change the regime. But the regime is objectively evil and much more so than the US.

Fair point, but the issue with the previous deal was that it forced Iran just to pause the program. Now they're possibly invulnerable and it may be the case that there's no way to stop them from developing nukes. The regime should have been removed when Iran didn't have thousands of ballistic missiles.
