==Personal life== Mohammadkhani was involved in a public court case in [[Iran]], after his wife Laleh Saharkhizan was found murdered in her apartment on 9 October 2002. [[Shahla Jahed]], his mistress in a temporary marriage arrangement was convicted of the murder of Laleh. Mohammadkhani was in Germany when the killing happened, but it emerged later that he was [[Nikah mut‘ah|"temporarily married"]] to Jahed, a practice allowed under [[Shia Islam]] and thus under Iranian law. Jahed was executed in 2010, following the completion of the appeals procedure. In 2008, the then chief of Iran's judiciary, [[Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi]], ordered a fresh investigation and did not sanction her execution ruling that her initial conviction (based as it was on a confession she made under duress) was unacceptable.<ref name=tguardian10>{{cite news|last=Dehghan|first=Saeed Kamali|title=Iran executes woman accused of murdering lover's wife|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/dec/01/shahla-jahed-executed-iran|accessdate=11 November 2012|newspaper=The Guardian|date=1 December 2010}}</ref>

On 5 January 2026, Mohammadkhani publicly supported the [[2025–2026 Iranian protests]] on his [[Instagram]], stating: "Hand in hand for Iran. Freedom is closer to us than our jugular vein." <ref>{{Cite web |date=2026-01-05 |title=حمایت ناصر محمدخانی از اعتراضات سراسری؛ آزادی از رگ گردن به ما نزدیک‌تر است |url=https://www.iranintl.com/fa/202601057725 |access-date=2026-01-25 |website=www.iranintl.com |language=fa}}</ref>
