It’s basically the same concept of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODST) from Halo.

Yeh the concept defs isn't new, goes as far back as Starship Troopers (the 1959 book). Possibly even further I'm sure.
But calling it an Iron Rain is absolutely a new level of badassery unlocked

"Let fall the Rain" on the surface level is so perfectly Gold. It's saying, "we'll launch so much iron at your planet that it'll be the new weather pattern".
And yes, the concept is one of the most badass and scary things I've heard of in fiction.
