Honestly you don't just bomb another country's embassy killing some civilians and breaking international laws which the USA didn't condemn and they and their allies prevented the Security Council from condemning it also So legally speaking Iran does have the legal right to retaliate under the very same international laws the West use whenever it benefits them

Without a doubt, and also a tactic employed in order to keep netanyahu in power as long as possible, and to secure USA's help, without it israel would succumb.
