BEIRUT (Reuters) - A senior Iranian military commander poured scorn on U.S. threats to tighten sanctions on Tuesday, saying the Islamic Republic’s people would respond by punching U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in the mouth.

Pompeo said on Monday Washington would impose new penalties if Tehran did not make sweeping changes, including dropping its nuclear program and pulling out of the Syrian civil war.

Two weeks after President Donald Trump pulled out of an international nuclear deal with Iran, his administration has threatened to impose “the strongest sanctions in history,” setting Washington and Tehran further on a course of confrontation.

“The people of Iran should stand united in the face of this and they will deliver a strong punch to the mouth of the American Secretary of State and anyone who backs them,” Ismail Kowsari, the deputy commander of the Sarollah Revolutionary Guards base in Tehran said, according to the Iranian Labour News Agency.

"Big talk, little man. Well one thing you can bet your turban on: my spawn will follow the example I have set for republican family values & integrity, and stay safely holed up in their gilded palaces while we send some other kids over to punch faces & souls with you Persian pinheads while simultatenously increasing the bottom-line profits of the military-industrial complex, inc. (R). Thanks for listening, suckers."

2. I'd pay to watch that

Pompeo is a lousy anti-American scumbag. A punch in the mouth is too good for him.

3. Someone needs to tell the Iranian people to get in the back of the line.

And make sure they have a couple of day's supplies as I am sure that is quite a long line.
