Defamation Allegations
Defamation Allegations
On 6 June 2024, Tehran's Prosecutor announced the opening of a judicial case against a television presenter and actor for "publishing content aimed at disrupting public peace" and "insult and defamation." Subsequently, Tasnim and Fars news agencies identified the individual as Hossein Pakdel. Tasnim reported that "Hossein Pakdel, on his Instagram account, targeted Ebrahim Raisi and Qasem Soleimani with mockery and satire." Fars stated that "Hossein Pakdel had published an insulting story against martyrs the previous day." Pakdel, without explicitly naming Raisi or Soleimani, had written on his Instagram account: "The kitchen of politics turns seasoned men into rubber steaks, and inept men into regime-special cutlets." The term "cutlet" entered public discourse following the death of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander Qasem Soleimani in a 2020 U.S. drone strike, which resulted in the dismemberment of his body. The ambiguous nature of Pakdel's statement underscored the authorities' limited tolerance for any perceived criticism directed towards Iranian leaders and national figures, even when such critique is expressed indirectly.
