President Donald Trump used his Twitter account on Sunday to serve notice on Iran that they can expect retaliation --  possibly "disproportionate" -- if he feels they are responsible for any attacks on U.S. citizens or American facilities.

After a quiet Twitter morning the president wrote: "These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!"
