Stating that something is not tolerable.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Iran, using this phrase is a sign that 'Ta'arof' has ended. It is a very direct way to communicate, which is usually avoided unless the situation is critical. Iranian business culture values relationships, but 'red lines' are respected. This phrase is the verbal marker of a red line. Younger Iranians use this phrase frequently on Twitter to react to news, often in a more sarcastic or hyperbolic way. In Iranian universities, students might use this phrase when protesting against unfair exam conditions or grading.

Don't Overuse
Because it's so strong, using it too much makes you sound like a very angry person. Save it for big problems.
