Iran retaliating with missiles was an entirely foreseeable consequence of the Soleimani strike. It doesn't really make sense to say deaths would have counted if the missiles had hit American soldiers or Iraqi civilians but don't count because they accidentally hit Canadian passengers.

and us attacking them was an entirely foreseeable consequence of continuously provoking us and killing an american without caring about it. this back and forth can continue for a long time and solely exists to dilute the question of "who's at fault?"

i wouldn't say that you're to blame for the revenge held against you. it might be justifiable but as long as we're talking about a scenario where the other party has free will to decide how they want to act, you're solely to blame for your actions. like would i blame the soldier who pulled it? sure. similarly his free will is very limited due to his responsibilities to the government, his actions are their actions.
