Sure. But were not talking about an existential threat - like during the Cold War - where a first strike was seen as a potential defensive measure.

I think it’s likely one of Iran’s proxies fires some rockets. Then we have to decide if we strike them, Iran, or both.

Assuming the threats really are backed by Iran, then striking those targets in Iraq is exactly a defensive measure. Either Iran fesses up to backing them by getting pissy or they stay silent and we say we took out a rogue group and will continue to do so to keep our people safe.
