You obviously know very little about laws of neutrality.A country can do business with either of the parties in the conflict including selling arms, and that doesn't mean they took a side. This is the Iranian case.
Taking a side means if they are sanctioning one of the parties, donating arms and other financial means to the other party, and are directly participating in the conflict by sending mercenaries and providing satellite intelligence to one side (Ukraine). This is the case of the collective West.
The West has an obsession with Iran, DPRK, China, and a few other countries because they refused to go along with West's sanctions against Russia.
So selling arms or donating arms to a belligerent party is a violation of neutrality. Key word is ”supply arms”.
Minor violations should cause a warning, but repeated serious violation is cause for the use of force. The no longer neutral state can be attacked.
Since Iran has delivered arms to Russia, which is a grave violation of neutrality. Ukraine have the right to attack Iran to stop this.
Since NATO states are delivering arms to Ukraine in theory, Russia could attack NATO, but since Russia is fighting an illegal war of aggression, any expansion of the war would be as illegal.
If Russia still attacks NATO due to its arms deliveries, NATO have every right to attack Iran in a war of self-defense.
