Sure, but shooting rockets at everyone in the neighbourhood including civilians isn’t defending oneself. What Iran is doing is terrorism, attacking civilians in an effort to pressure the governments in the region.
Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis all fire rockets at civilian population centers in Israel. Counter-attacking them can be considered Israel defending themselves.
Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and Oman have not fired rockets (or weapons of any kind) at Iran. Counter-attacking the US and Israel would be defending themselves. What Iran is doing by not limiting themselves to counter attacking those attacking them is creating terror in the region. They’re being terrorists.
Iran has the right to defend itself.
