Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani reportedly told the French envoy on Wednesday that Iran did not accept insulting its Islamic, religious and national sanctities and values in any way, Reuters reported.

The French magazine said the cartoons were part of a competition it launched last month to support anti-government protests in Iran touched off by the death of a young woman in the custody of morality police.

The raging protests against the harsh Islamic laws in the nation expressed deeper woes of women with many coming out openly cutting their hairs and even confronting security forces.

Protests had caused ripples of support from across the world with many celebrities expressing solidarity with the women.

"We won't allow the French government to go too far. They've definitely chosen the wrong path," Amirabdollahian reportedly tweeted.
