From where? Who was supplying these materials? Was the supplier performing a "legitimate act" in making these material available? It would seem they were not, since the facility itself was not. And if not, why would bombing the power reactor (plausibly legitimate use of enriched uranium) act to prevent the shipment itself and its diversion? Why not bomb the country(s) supplying the material? By extension, should we preemptively bomb Pakistani and Indian nuclear facilities? Won't we be glad? Later?
