'Insulting and indecent': Iran protests cartoons ridiculing supreme leader

Charlie Hebdo French satirical magazine publishes dozens of cartoons ridiculing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a special edition to mark the anniversary of a deadly attack on its Paris office on Jan. 7, 2015.

IH reports that Iran warned France on Wednesday it would respond to "insulting" cartoons depicting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei published in the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

The weekly had published dozens of cartoons earlier that day ridiculing the highest religious and political figure in Iran, claiming they were part of a competition in support of the ongoing protests – triggered by the September death of Mahsa Amini, an Iranian-Kurdish woman killed while in the custody of Tehran's so-called "morality" police for wearing her hijab "incorrectly."
