Iranian cleric says US only has fictional heroes like SpongeBob and Spider-Man

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."

Oh my!

If the Irans killed up all those heroes, we’d be truly devastated for decades!

But the Irans don’t have the stones to kill our mighty mighty heroes.

You hear that Irans? You’re too scaredy cat to really do it!

And cats, especially scaredy ones, are like totally haram!

That means all you Irans are haram!

Yes, we have some village idiots who call themselves ‘clerics’ (holy men) in THIS country too.

Alongside the bombs that will be dropped on Iranian thugs, there should also be the ‘Handkerchief’ Drops of Knives for the ordinary folk in Iran to take part in freeing themselves.
