"Think about it. Are we supposed to take out Spiderman and SpongeBob?" he said in a live interview on Iran's IRIB Ofogh TV channel.
An Iranian cleric mocked the US by saying Iran would not be able to strike back in kind after the assassination of Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani because the US has only fictional heroes such as Spider-Man and SpongeBob SquarePants.
The cleric, Shahab Moradi, made the comment in a live TV interview on Iran's IRIB Ofogh channel. A clip of the segment was posted on Saturday evening on Twitter, but it is unclear when the program aired.
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."

He sounds like someone trying to back out of a fight.
Not sure what that means, but it’s good to be underestimated by your enemies.
I see the resemblance. It is uncanny.
The Left’s heroes sent more than a billion to Iran at the last minute.
Still say had Trump announced he’d ordered a strike on white people the DNC would have been okay with it.
Yeah that’s why the iranians put a $80,000,000 bounty on whose head?
Don’t mess with SpongeBob. Somebody had to wipe up Soleimani’s body parts.
Sounds like they have been caving
Bragging about what you are going to hit is what losers do
They are losers
They are pissed that their 2nd in command camel humper got blown up into millions of pieces
Then again, what top military would ever put their 2nd in command out on a foreign battlefield? Amateur hour.
They embarrassed themselves on the world stage
Yeah that’s why the iranians put a $80,000,000 bounty on whose head?
That is weak little loser talk
Winners get things done
Losers expect someone else to do it for them
I would be more than happy if they killed spongebob.
The 8 years of the beta male President are over... Iran can do some Asymmetrical things.. but they know they have ZERO chance of winning a direct confrontation.
Last time they tried, we took out 2 oil platforms and half their navy in less than a day...
They have been at war with the US since 1979, Carter’s complete ineptitude and misreading of IRAN create this give that just keeps on giving...
They were never in it
With their 2nd in command and car loads of other high value targets gone, this decimated their military power significantly.
That is why they are squaking and shooting off a couple crap turd missiles they have laying around
They got nothing and we know it.
I like Spongebob. He’s got more class than the Rats.
They can’t admit that they are just scared of Iron Man. :D
Then again, what top military would ever put their 2nd in command out on a foreign battlefield? Amateur hour.
Excellent point.
Also they know who Sponge Bob is yet I had never heard of their guy. So Sponge Bob is world renowned and their guy is a foot note after he’s been turned into coos coos.
My hero is Squidward.
Has anyone seen Bert since with took out Osama bin Laden?
Yeah, well, the Japs and Nazis thought the same thing back in 1941.
