The United States should expect a "strong slap in the face" if it underestimates Iran's defensive capabilities, a commander of the elite Revolutionary Guards said on Wednesday, as Tehran concluded war games.
Since taking office last month, U.S. President Donald Trump has pledged to get tough with Iran, warning the Islamic Republic after its ballistic missile test on Jan. 29 that it was playing with fire and all U.S. options were on the table.
"The enemy should not be mistaken in its assessments, and it will receive a strong slap in the face if it does make such a mistake," said General Mohammad Pakpour, head of the Guards’ ground forces, quoted by the Guards' website Sepahnews...

Iran has been giving the US slaps in the face for the past 8 years. The difference now is that we will finally start punching back again rather than crying and taking it.
Damn....I sure hope Trump give them a dusting....turn the whole place in glass.
Paging Bagdad Bob.....
Iran is about the size of Alaska.
You slap the wrong person in the face and you better be ready to get to punched in the face for it.
Slap our face and we’ll kick your ass.
I say we respond to any slap in the face with a solid kick to the nuts followed by a double tap to the head.
Will they do it with a pair of gloves? Will they challenge us to a duel?
Trump probably will not respond the way the old muslim president would have.
The reality is that the Iranians just can’t stand being ignored. Most Americans could not care less what happens to their bizarre, medieval, non sustainable theocracy. Let them stew with the Russians to their North, the Chinese to their East and the Sunnis to their West. If they actually were so stupid to try something nuclear, they would be incinerated and not by the US. Goodbye and good luck fools.
Start with pest control. Take out their annoying fleet of mosquito boats, every last one.
Then an EMP pop over Teheran to deprive the mullahs of their command & control, which will throw Iran into chaos.
Said the fly to the spider.
We should capture some of THEIR sailors, like they did ours.
They don’t seem to understand that we’ll bring BIG GUNS to their palm-fight.
Then get ready to arrest the Obama Admin alums who spent 8 years looking the other way as Iran built up it's sleeper cell network in the US.
Iran keeps rattling the saber but no one is paying attention to them.
It appears that Iran underestimates the US’s offensive capabilities.
They’re following NK’s “look at me” program.
