I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous response. It is true that the concept of "crimes of aggression" was not fully defined under international law until after World War II, and the Allies' invasion of Iran would not have been considered a crime of aggression at the time.

However, the Allies, like any other party to an armed conflict, were still bound by international humanitarian law, which established principles for treatment of civilians and other non-combatants during military operations. While the Allied invasion of Iran was not a violation of the laws of war or the treaty of the United Nations, it is possible that aspects of their actions during the invasion may have been inconsistent with international humanitarian law.

It is important to note that the specific actions of military forces must be evaluated in context, with regard to the circumstances at the time, and the applicable legal norms at that time. The evaluation of the legality or illegality of any given military action must be considered within the relevant legal framework that was in place at the time of the action, as well as the overall history and context of the conflict in which the action took place.
