In the last 20 years,
Ireland never launched a missile at Taiwan,
Egypt never launched a missile at Nicaragua,
Brazil never launched a missile at Turkey,
Japan never launched a missile at Kosovo,
…
All have less distance than USA to Iran.
(Iran never launched a missile at mainland USA also)
Switzerland, most of the Nordic countries, the countries that are victims of this type of aggression, China (they mainly threaten neighbors, not cruise missile randos on the other side of the world), South Korea… Actually now that I think about it most countries aren’t guilty of it. It’s really mostly the US and its allies that violently project military power across the globe like that.
Show me a country that isn’t guilty of it… Is that an excuse, no… But it maybe points to something more nuanced than “USA bad!”

To be fair, it would have been really challenging for Iran to launch a missile to the other side of the world.
