I would venture to guess that the unilateral phrasing is referring to the fact that Iran's response did force Israel to turn to the US to intervene and broker a pause in hostility... thus halting Israel's aggression.

They did this without the offered aid from Russia or China. Unlike Israel who started the aggression and required the US to step in on its behalf

Unlike Israel who started the aggression

Hasn't Iran been funding attacks by proxies on Israel for years? Weren't they supposed to be part of a coordinated attack against Israel but Hamas jumped the gun?
