It wasn't like he was operating out of Iran, but in Iraq in which Iran is slowly trying to take over via influence thru Shiite dominence. It was a fair play.
It was an assassination of a foreign official. Under certain viewpoints this could be a violation of international law. It was done in a different country without notifying them ahead of time, violating the sovereignty of that nation. It was definitely over the line of international norms.

Did they miss? Advanced warning was given to Iraq, and they had to know that would be passed along to US forces. Smells more like things went as intended.
