Trump says 'Iran made a very big mistake' after US military confirms it shot down American drone

If the US attacks Iran, it would be their end.
No, but it would get them stuck in another quagmire. Trump's already downplaying it, smart move, not one that shows weakness. If he gets a second term in 2020, of which there is a very high likelyhood, and the situation continues to worsen and there is/are more incidents, all bets are off. For now he and the republican party are focussed primarily on retaining political power.
 
Trump can not risk a war at this juncture. Iran played very smartly. Pentagon can squirm but can't do much here.
 
F-22 is stealthy I don't think even China has officially claimed that they are able to shoot down stealth aircraft....
And US carrier fleet are nearly unsinkable....
so was Titanic

It only took 2 h 40 min
 
Iran were well within their rights to shoot it down if it was in their air space. Self defence is not an act of war or aggression.
But it was mentioned that the drone was shot down in International airspace which is also quite unclear cuz neither of them revealed where exactly it was brought down

An f22 still needs an airbase to operate from,and when its sitting on the ground in its shelter its very,very vulnerable...especially to something like a maneuvering terminally guided warhead[MaRV]

Or its quasi-ballistic little brothers like the dezful and zulfiqar.

Potentially very risky to attempt to operate aircraft out of bases within range of these sorts of weapons.....one big missile strike and bang goes your airbase,your aircraft,your personnel...
Its called area denial.
 
They can bring anything......
Sir,

1-SEAD
