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

"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."

“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.”

My heroes are the Clintons, the Obamas, Pelosi, Shitiff, Soros, Marxine Waters and the entire UN. Get crackin’, Iran.

IMPORTANT things.”

LOL! The goofball has a sense of humor. How about Donald Trump holding the likeness of your severed bloody head, goofball...with some Arthur Brown music to go with it for comedic relief...

Nonsense. What about the national heroes Pelosi, Schiff, Nadless, Kerry, Clinton, etc. I sure would hate if anything happened to them.

We have heroes, we just don’t worship our heroes. We treat all people as equal, that is what makes the USA so great.

In every good person there is a hidden hero waiting to appear. We celebrate when that hero appears.

Thanks to the liberals who pour hate on anyone worthy of being called a hero I believe the Iranian cleric is right.

He admits he’s helpless. Why not take out one of our top generals, Raghead?

Because he can’t and if he tries he might be next.
