Kamala, who?
An outspoken Iranian-American activist, who has narrowly escaped multiple assassination attempts, recently criticized Kamala Harris for her comments on President Trump’s actions regarding the deadly US-Israeli attacks on Iran.
“Who are you?” questioned Masih Alinejad during an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, delivering a sharp critique.
“I am fed up with certain American politicians, particularly Democrats, turning this into a political spectacle for their gain, as Kamala Harris has done,” she expressed vehemently.
“She remained silent on the massacre, yet suddenly found her voice to condemn a targeted military strike against those responsible for the violence. So, when innocent lives are lost, it’s not a concern?”
Over the weekend, Harris issued a statement labeling the attack as “a war the American people do not want,” following the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and 40 top security and regime officials in his fortified compound.
“Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice,” Harris said.
“This is a dangerous and unnecessary gamble with American lives that also jeopardizes stability in the region and our standing in the world. What we are witnessing is not strength. It is recklessness dressed up as resolve.”
Alinejad posted a clip of her Fox News appearance to her more than 816,000 followers on X, doubling down on her comments condemning Harris.
“No, honestly. Who are you? A Democrat who built a career talking about women’s rights, yet stayed silent when more than 30,000 people were massacred,” she wrote. “Now suddenly you’ve found your voice?”
Named by BBC Persian and Iran Wire as one of Iran’s 50 most influential women, Alinejad narrowly escaped a chilling murder attempt at her New York home in 2022.
Authorities foiled the hitman’s plan, arresting him near Alinejad’s Brooklyn home after he ran a stop sign. The suspect had made several errors and ultimately confessed, “I was there to kill the journalist.”
Alinejad, known for her outspoken criticism of the Iranian regime and its treatment of women, has survived multiple assassination attempts since fleeing the country after the contested 2009 elections.
