  ## Controversies
  
  In 2013, Eshraghi made headlines again when she posted a joke on her Facebook in which she said that she often joked with Ayatollah Khomeini that "Pasdaran (revolutionary guards) should marry widows of the martyrs, and Khomeini wished that he was a Pasdar himself". This comment made angry responses from the families of Iran–Iraq War veterans. The son of Mohammad Ebrahim Hemmat wrote a harsh letter condemning her. She later said that her Facebook page was hacked. The Iranian parliament later issued a statement saying that her comments will be investigated. She later closed down her Facebook page because of the mounting criticism.
