The Spin

Iranian exiles like Masih Alinejad have become professional anti-Iran activists who earn their living by peddling hatred for their homeland and advising foreign aggressors on how to harm Iran and its people. These tools for Western hegemony shamelessly collaborate with terrorists and warmongers, getting paid to push false narratives about Iran's supposed weakness and nuclear ambitions. Their profound betrayal and narcissistic personality allow them to side with those seeking to destroy Iran while claiming to represent freedom.

Masih Alinejad represents the brave voice of Iranian women fighting against a theocratic regime that sends assassins across oceans to silence dissent. This courageous journalist has survived multiple murder attempts simply for encouraging women to defy Iran's draconian hijab laws and speaking truth to power. The regime's willingness to pay gangsters $500,000 in blood money proves the threat posed by those demanding basic human rights and freedom. To defend freedom the Iranian regime must be punished for its brazen acts of terror.
