Iranian cleric says US only has fictional heroes like SpongeBob and Spider-Man
Business Insider ^ | January 6, 2019 | Sahar Esfandiari

An Iranian cleric, Shahab Moradi, said Iran would struggle to hit back against the US by striking a parallel figure to Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani because the US has only "fictional" heroes.

In the clip, Moradi says:

"In your opinion, if anyone around the world wants to take their revenge on the assassination of Soleimani and intends to do it proportionately in the way they suggest — that we take one of theirs now that they've got one of ours — who should we consider to take out in the context of America?

"Think about it. Are we supposed to take out Spider-Man and SpongeBob? They don't have any heroes. We have a country in front of us with a large population and a large landmass, but it doesn't have any heroes. All of their heroes are cartoon characters — they're all fictional."

That would be the tattoo-and-body-piercing crowd.

Don’t fret, Moradi, believers in Spiderman aren’t going to be the ones killing you, your families, your tribes, your villages, whatever livestock you like to to f#ck...

Yeah, we only have fictional heroes, unlike the Shia, who believe that a young heir of Islam tossed down a well will return as the Twelfth Imam and rule the world. That’s a worthy tale.

He’s likely to meet quite a few of our heroes soon.

We also have United States Marines, and they’re itching to kick some Iranian ass.

As far as heroes in the media, he’s right. Got a chuckle out of me.

Of course in real America we have fantastic heroes.

From yesterday.....

Iran can't hit back over Soleimani's killing because America has only fictional heroes like SpongeBob SquarePants, a prominent cleric said

That would destroy us!

Please Mr. Irans! Don’t kill our General Patton!

Jane Fonda is a true American Hero!

It would hurt us a whole lot if the Irans killed her.

Serious.
