[From a philosophical perspective, the justice of war] From a utilitarian philosophical standpoint, the justice of war depends on whether it can maximize overall welfare. If a war ultimately brings greater social benefits (such as ending tyranny or protecting civilians), then that war can also be considered just. For example, the Allied victory over the Axis powers in World War II is seen as a just war.

For Iran, if war can lead to a permanent abandonment of nuclear weapons, stop missile and drone attacks on neighboring countries, cease the blockade of the Strait, stop funding terrorists, return to the path of economic development, and lift international sanctions on Iran to restore prosperity to the lives of the Iranian people, then such a war would be just.
