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.

On Wednesday, the Revolutionary Guards concluded three days of exercises with rockets, artillery, tanks and helicopters, weeks after Trump warned that he had put Tehran "on notice" over the missile launch.

3. Iran, you're smarter then this

I meet some of your people when we both served in the military when I was stationed in Mississippi. They were in training, so was I. Lots of republican voters aren't aware, we trained your top military brass and pilots. Since I'm still around, you probably are too.

Ignore these creature who are inhabiting our executive branch, they are just looking to kill some of our military for oil. They will take some your people too. Don't make it easy. Go rent a movie, relax.
