There’s something about Masih — Masih Alinejad — that the Iranian regime doesn’t like. An Iranian expatriate and American citizen, the mullahs hired some hit men to kill her. She posted a video in 2022 to document what was happening.

She updated the story in 2023.
I just learned from 12 FBI agents that the 3 men hired by the Iranian regime to kill me on US soil have been indicted. The Islamic Revolutionary Guards have been conducting these terrorist operations for four decades.
