I don’t think this was so much about Iran as it was about hitting China’s energy supply, as far as the US is concerned (and helping the gulf states that have paid off the Orange Terror).

Israel has its own regional objectives, and Ukraine has a vested interest in keeping those drones out of Russian hands. I don’t think there is any singular issue that provoked this attack and no plan or care for what happens in Iran.
