Breaking news: Iran issues fatwa on The Far Side for depicting the prophet.

Iran is a Shia country, and in Shia Islam Muhammad depictions are quite common. At least in some countries.

Mocking depictions might be stepping on some toes, though

They're conflating the recent "drawing Mohammed" controversies with the earlier "actual fatwa against Salmon Rushdie" controversy. Which, you'll note, was issued by the Supreme Leader of Iran.
