President-elect Donald Trump's threat to sink Iranian ships was "just a joke" according to one of the country's generals.
"The person who has recently achieved power, has talked off the top of his head! Threatening Iran in the Persian Gulf is just a joke," General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri said, according to The Times of Israel.
He added that presidential candidates in the United States "eat too much sugar" during campaigns, referring to a Farsi proverb about talking nonsense.
Trump said in September that Iranian ships attempting to provoke America "will be shot out of the water" if he were president.

Let’s see what he has to say when some of his ships are sitting at the bottom of the sea.
oh man... the next 8 years are going to be AMAZING ! :)
sink them in their harbors, at their berths
The Iranians may be a little slow. In some 70 days they won’t have little Valarie pitching their case.
Obama the cryptoMoslem RELEASED the USS Cole terrorists.
Iran hopes for a repeat of the Obama-Clinton Treason.
He’s probably right. I recommend that Iran, right after the inauguration, send it’s largest, most powerful, most expensive warship (or even the top 3 or 4) out into the gulf to teach the US Navy a little humility. Yeah, that will work! Do it Iran, I double camel dare you.
Republican Presidents are always shocked when they take a look at the Defense Department after a Democratic President.
The Pentagon funds always seem to disappear and the President is confronted with a hollowed-out military.
The next few months would be a good time for Trump to make friends with everybody.
Sun Tzu—The Art of War
When you are weak do not engage on the battlefield.
Oh yeah? Well, see how much you are laughing when the water reaches your eyeballs Mr. Moon worshiper.
“Go ahead, make my day.” -—Donald J. Trump
I refer General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri to Operation Earnest Will. We've done it before. And we're ready, willing, able, and eager as hell to do it again.
Apparently the Iranians do not remember what happened last time US president promised to deal with ottomans
we are not weak, our leaders are weak.
We are more than capable of dealing with Iran’s dingy’s
US / Israel bonds are going to be very strong going forward.
That’s what I was thinking...just keep telling yourself that Mohamed...right up to the point where you’re renting dive gear to go retrieve your favorite robe. When President Trump takes office, there will be new ROE issued.
Trump has a way of finishing stuff.
Methinks he will find ALL of their ships at the bottom of the sea.
Yep, and the joke is on you Iran.
(last laugh)
The ground is so thick with consultants and contractors that most defense dollars stay right here in the Montgomery County, Fairfax County, Arlington County area - the BIG BLUE Swath through Virginia.
You want planes, ships, guns, missiles? Suickers! We don't make things in D.C. How about some more power point view graphs, or some more manpower studies to prove that our bureaucracies, corpororate and government and understaffed to handle all this workload of spending all these defense dollars.
Trump just needs to nuke it. All of it.
