It may not fit your definition of what is illegal, but I will say this- It will certainly draw a
response. The US doesn't like to have her soldiers in Iraq blown up by roadside bombs built in Iran. Iran can either back off, or face US strikes on Iranian targets in reprisal.
Call it legal, call it illegal. It won't change the outcome.
But I agree with you wrt the insurgencies- Iran has no reason to support the Sunnis, and I don't believe they are. I do think Syria is supporting some of the remnants of Saddam's regime, though. But yes, most of the Sunnis support that is directed against the Shiites comes from KSA, Jordan, and Egypt.
Both insurgencies, the Saudi funded Sunnis and the Iran funded Shia are targeting Americans and civilians, and
both are trying to destabilize Iraq.
So the US has no reason to play favorites with these people.
