Mehdi Kouchakzadeh (Persian: مهدی کوچکزاده) is an Iranian Hydraulic engineer, academic and principlist politician, who was member of Islamic Consultative Assembly from 2004 until 2016.
In an 8th parliament session speech, Ali Motahari claimed that he has russian roots and his former surname was "Küçükov" (Russian: Кючуков). Koochakzadeh then threw the microphone at Motahari, who reacted by saying, “Shut Up And Sit Down, Moron!”.
He engaged in a yelling match with Javad Zarif in a June 2015 session, calling him a “traitor”. The scene was recorded by cellphone cameras and went viral on social media.
In an August 2014 interview, he said that the majority of Iranian journalists “write lies in return for money.” In 2013, Koochakzadeh called Iranian photographers “pornographers” for taking pictures of parliament members while they were napping during sessions.
Commenting on Marietje Schaake's 2015 visit to Iran, he referred to Schaake as “uncultured” and said her outfit “appropriate for a party and dancing.”
