Okay. You only mention things on the US side. Iran is responsible for the bombing campaign in the Syrian civil war. Iran's islamists and hezbollah killed 80% of about 600000 civilians in that war, with Russian air support.
Which is at minimum 10 civilians for every civilian you accuse the US of, right there. Just in that one conflict, a few years ago. And on the list of Iranian islamist crimes we also find Yemen's civil war, the rise (and fall) of Daesh in Iraq (meaning Iran's islamists thought they would be able to reason and unite with another islamist faction, you know because they are religious nutcases too) ... nope. So they were both the cause and part of the solution to Daesh), the Iran-Iraq war, and of course they were involved in the Lebanese civil war (and still are).
So I'm very comfortable saying that 10x difference will easily become 40-50 taking all that into account (both the Yemeni civil war and the Iran-Iraq war had more victims than the Syrian civil war, and daesh also made large amounts of victims)
As for comparing with, say, the EU. The EU did nothing. Which is very cheap in terms of cost, but I doubt you will find many Ukrainians agreeing this minimized casualties. And I hardly think doing nothing is to be celebrated on a moral level.
Your arguments only hold merit if you compare the US against an absolute standard, where only 0 mistakes, 0 collateral damage is acceptable. You are taking an absolutist moral stance ...
