The President of Iran ordered the killing of an Iranian living in the US. [View all]

Iran said that he advocated war against Iran.

Agents were sent and the person was killed on US soil.

What would you think?

Now imagine that the President of Iran ordered the killing of an American for advocating war against Iran.

A clear threat to the security of Iran, right? So the President of Iran is justified in ordering his death, right?
