Trump has a blistering response to Iranian threats that is reminiscent of Gen. Mattis warnings

Washington Times:
President Trump responded Sunday night to some belligerent rhetoric from Iran by taking to Twitter and “yelling” in all capital letters that Iran was risking annihilation.

“To Iranian President Rouhani: Never ever threaten the United States again or you will suffer consequences the likes of which few throughout history have ever suffered before,” the president wrote, entirely in capital letters with the exception of the “greeting” to President Hassan Rouhani.

“We are no longer a country that will stand for your demented words of violence & death. Be cautious!” Mr. Trump concluded still in caps-lock mode, a gesture known in social media to be the equivalent of yelling in speech.

Mr. Trump was responding to reports earlier Sunday that Mr. Rouhani had addressed the U.S. president at a gathering of Iranian diplomats with threats including “the mother of all wars.”

“Mr. Trump, don’t play with the lion’s tail, this would only lead to regret,” the state Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
...
The President is making it clear that this country is not to be trifled with or threatened.  The Iranians should have first hand knowledge of what happened to ISIS in Syria after Trump took command.

With sanctions about to kick in, Iran is running out of options.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
