"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."

We consider all of Hollywood our heroes. In fact they are like literal gods to us and we would be 10000000% devastated if something happened to them.
Just saying...
Looks like they are confusing Bikini Bottom with Bikini Atoll! LOL!
I’d say we have plenty of heroes. Don’t know them all by name, but most of them in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. And, they’re great at what they do!
Well then Sponge Bob just kicked your a$$.
If Iran does anything to Spongebob I hope we nuke their entire country. Hes more important than all the worlds Muslim population put together
The Iranian navy will soon be meeting SpongeBob, the Shiite-head should go easy on him.

He is partially right...I mean i do know who Spongebob is..i don’t have any idea who this guy is..i’m guessing he is yet another oppressive, freedom loving, Religio-fascist.

Fine. He can think that if he wants.
No, no, Mr. Cleric. America has real heroes, like Robert DeNiro and Michael Moore and Buraq Zerobama and Rachel Madcow. But please, please don’t target them for retaliation for the utter annihilation of your general. If they were blown to little tiny bits, how would America go on?
Doesn't matter, because even our "fictional heroes" can reach out and kill you slimeballs, and that's a fact.
I happen to know it was a girl, not yet even a woman, Supergirl. 8>)
