The French magazine causes a stir again: Charlie Hebdo, a satirical French newspaper, published several cartoons against the supreme leader in Iran, Ali Khamenei, in the shadow of protests against the Iranian regime.
For example, a cartoon was published of the Iranian supreme leader hanging on the hair of Iranian women as he struggles to detach himself, this in the shadow of a protest against the obligation to wear the hijab in the theocratic-Islamic country.
