Iran vows response to Khamenei cartoons in French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo
2023-01-05
Both articles show some of the published cartoons, some of which are very vulgar, indeed.
[IsraelTimes] Iranian minister says ’insulting and indecent act’ won’t pass without response; caricatures published to mark 8th anniversary of deadly attack on magazine’s Gay Paree office.

Iran
...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence...
warned La Belle France on Wednesday it would respond after "insulting" cartoons depicting Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...

...A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...
The weekly had published dozens of cartoons on the same day ridiculing the highest religious and political figure in the Islamic Theocratic Republic.

The magazine said the cartoons were part of a competition it launched in December in support of the protests triggered by the September 16 death in jug of Mahsa Amini, an Iranian Kurd who was arrested for allegedly violating the country’s strict dress code for women.

"The insulting and indecent act of a French publication in publishing cartoons against the religious and political authority will not go without an effective and decisive response," tweeted Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.

"We will not allow the French government to go beyond its bounds. They have definitely chosen the wrong path."

The French magazine said the contest aimed "to support the struggle of Iranians who are fighting for their freedom."

Iranian authorities say hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have been killed and thousands arrested in what they generally describe as "riots," and have accused hostile foreign powers and opposition groups of stoking the unrest.

Charlie Hebdo published the caricatures in an special edition to mark the anniversary of a deadly attack on its Gay Paree office on January 7, 2015, by assailants who said they were acting on behalf of al-Qaeda to avenge the magazine’s decision to publish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.

Iran calls in French envoy over magazine’s vulgar Khamenei cartoons

[IsraelTimes] Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites....
has summoned the French ambassador to condemn the publication of offensive caricatures of the country’s Lord High Potentate and Supreme Leader of All He Surveys Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...

The magazine has a long history of publishing vulgar cartoons mocking Islamists, which critics say are deeply insulting to Moslems. Two French-born al-Qaeda holy warriors attacked the newspaper’s office in 2015, killing 12 cartoonists, and it has been the target of other attacks over the years.

Its January issue features the winners of a recent cartoon contest in which entrants were asked to draw the most offensive caricatures of Khamenei, who has held Iran’s highest office since 1989. The contest was billed as a show of support for anti-government protests rocking Iran.

One of the finalists depicts a turbaned holy man reaching for a hangman’s noose as he drowns in blood, while another shows Khamenei clinging to a giant throne above the raised fists of protesters. Others depict more vulgar and sexually explicit scenes.

#1  Hopefully they are working from home. Maybe convert a Chuck-E-Cheez band to occupy the office.
