Masses gathered in front of the French embassy in Tehran and denounced Charlie Hebdo's "sacrilegious caricature" which insulted Iranian figures as well as the sanctities of Muslims on several occasions. 

According to one of the demonstrators, the protest was arranged at the request of Senior Iranian Cleric Hossein Nuri Hamedani in Tehran and Qom in order to voice their refusal of discriminatory messages by the French magazine.

Furthermore, protestors chanted slogans in support of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Sayyed Ali Khamenei.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, on January 4th, slammed French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo over caricatures intended to offend religious and political Iranian authorities.

The cartoon which was widely circulated intentionally demonizes Iran in light of the Mahsa Amini riots that have been manipulated to fit the West's agenda and its aspirations to fulfill regime change in Iran. 

"The insulting and disgraceful act of a French magazine in publishing cartoons against religious and political authorities will receive a decisive and effective response," Amir-Abdollahian said in a post on his Twitter account on Wednesday.

He further warned French authorities to "cut their coats according to the cloth available," meaning that he is calling them to make plans and decisions based on what they have and not what they would like.

"They have definitely stepped on the wrong path. We have already put this magazine on the sanctions list," the top diplomat further added.
