When is it "right" to interfere with with another country?

Here's the problem:

What if we don't trust our government to intervene in a way that is actually helpful? What if our government has a history of intervening in ways that don't actually solve the problem that is the alleged reason for the invasion, or that end up creating even worse problems?

For example, in Iraq, we got rid of a brutal dictator, but the ensuring chaos gave birth to ISIL/Daesh. In Afghanistan, we initially succeeded in overthrowing the Taliban, but we were never able to get rid of them completely, and they are now back in power.

As far as I can tell, most pro-Palestinian protesters aren't asking the U.S.A. to intervene on behalf of Palestinians, but instead are just asking the U.S.A. to stop giving so much support to Israel.

So we have Rumpy, whom does not support the legally elected president of Venezuala, but wanted her nobel peace prize and got it . Then turned around and back stabbed her , next day, And put a communist dictator in place of her.

Jackson Hinkle is basically nothing more than a troll. He's a self-proclaimed "MAGA Communist" who isn't taken seriously by the left or the right.

Iran's one of those cases where it's hard to say 'one size fits all'. You've got a totalitarian theocratic leadership over a what... 70% secular populace whose mismanaging the country so thoroughly that they're past the point of holding demonstrations and protests over not liking the theocracy, they can't afford groceries so they're getting the worst of what we've been dealing with but an order of magnitude more inflation? Ideally we'd want to get the protestors to have some type of responsible party leading the charge to convert the Iranian military to their cause, the biggest risk would be if the leadership goes down, ISIL, Hezbollah, and other groups flood in through the boarders and turn it into Iraq or worse, Syria. That's where we'd have to make sure a power vacuum both lasts the shortest amount of time possible and that the power vacuum is filled by political and religious moderates, especially people who want the pre 1979 lifestyle perhaps with a constitutional monarchy where the Shah is closer to being a country mascot than supreme political leader.
