“All aggression, regardless of actor, must be condemned.”
Here's a video of a Ukrainian drone taking out a Russian soldier in Ukraine.
Is that aggression that must be condemned?

Or how about these videos, of workers running for their lives during Ukraine's attack yesterday on the Shahed drone factory in Alabuga, Russia. One worker was killer and another dozen seriously injured.
Those are the exact same drones that were flying around my Airbnb a week ago in Kyiv. The closest hit that I'm aware of was a church just 800m away. There's a small chance I personally could have died that night; killing and injuring those workers make me a little safer next time I visit.

Discussion
Is Israel attacking Iran right now defense or aggression?
I think it depends on how they follow. I would argue, that Gaza was a defense the first two weeks or so. After this started pure active agression.
A little like when you and me would fight every now and then. And after I hit you with my fist, you would cut off my arms to defend yourself.
