From my layman's perspective, this gives Iran the moral high ground

I was against the Iraq War on the premise you don't attack a country for what they possibly might do someday. Same thing here.

Iran can justifiably say, "See? We were attacked, which is why we need to develop a nuclear weapon, the same as what our adversary has."

George W. Bush was the worst president in my lifetime. Donald Trump might go down as the second solely because of this. I'd rather suffer through the main Democrat platform of woke ideology over this war.
