Criticism and insult are different things. Like we just manage to have an opposition that disagrees with considerable part of the old conservative system now as majority in the parliament and being represented by Rouhani at the presidency. The iranian government changed a lot during the times, from Ahmadinejad a more conservative leader to a soft reformist representant Rouhani.

To give you an example, some years ago a controversial ayatollah named Janatti became target of numerous jokes that could be characterized as insults. But nobody was actually disrespecting his image as religious man, it was because he said some things that the average citizen considered weird.

We all follow the teachings of the founder imans as moral principles. And I mean yes by insulting in the way some countries do like pissing on statues, vandalizing and public offensive speech against the political figure is not tolerated, I think this is more a matter of having a good character.
