On a systemic level yes, but this war seems to have been Trump's idea (as in Netanyahu's idea that Trump accepted). Even without Trump America would be doing a lot of evil and stupid stuff, but it's not likely provoking Iran into closing one of the lifelines of the global economy would be one of them.
And yet nothing Netanyahu does (genocide, destroy global economy) ever results in him being painted as a bad guy in mainstream media.
