here’s why a preemptive strike on iran’s nuclear infrastructure is not only a justified, but necessary, act of defense to prevent an irreversible threat:

1. the iranian regime has explicitly and repeatedly called for the destruction of israel and the united states

2. the regime is actively developing nuclear weapons capabilities

3. nuclear weapons would give the regime irreversible destructive power

4. the regime’s stated intentions, combined with such power, pose an existential threat

5. deterrence is ineffective once a hostile actor gains nuclear capability

6. a preemptive strike can materially delay or disable this capability

There are only 2 reasons to oppose a military operation to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities: 

You believe the regime's 46-year promise to annihilate Israel is an empty threat, willing to gamble with the world’s only Jewish state; OR 

You believe Iran should have the means to destroy it.

Either way, it's naivete or antisemitism. Take your pick.

By that logic, Israel has a reserved right to a means to destroy its neighboring states?

those are two fundamentally different situations

iran is a sovereign state, with a declared policy of destroying israel, backing proxies, and pursuing the capabilities to do so

that makes deterrence a state-level imperative

on the other hand, palestine is not a sovereign state

it also doesn’t face annihilation from a neighboring power building nuclear weapons

israel isn’t trying to erase gaza; it’s responding to attacks from groups who openly reject israel’s right to exist

again, why shouldn't iran or palestine enjoy that duty as well?

no, and you know that's not what she's saying...

israel has a duty to prevent its own destruction when an enemy state (iran) openly builds the capability to erase it
