But then you get into a who started it fight


Trump put crippling sanctions on them and is wrecking their economy. That could be considered the first strike and the embassy was retaliation.

If nobody was seriously hurt (I haven't seen reports of casualties, but could be wrong), murdering a general seems like a heck of an escalation to some property damage. There are many possible responses that would be more measured than what Trump did.
