Greetings,
To cross a red line is to go too far, to do something unacceptable.
Interestingly, I think you use خط قرمز but I'm not sure about the rest of the idiom.

It's not strange that you don't know how make the rest of this idiom in Persian, because there are a lot of ways to use this calque expression in Persian: پا را از خطوط قرمز فراتر گذاشتن، پا روی خطوط قرمز گذاشتن and a host of others that our friends have suggested.
