The 1st principle re attacks on Iran is Article 2(4) of the UN Charter, the cornerstone of post-WWII international law: “All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state”

Absolutely, and far too rarely mentioned in the coverage of the threats to attack and the prospect of an attack. The crime of aggression has clearly been committed by the US and by Israel.
