‘Go to hell’: Journalist sends message to Iran after man with loaded gun arrested near her home

Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad joins CNN's New Day to discuss the recent arrest of an armed man near her family's home in Brooklyn, New York. Alinejad was also targeted in an alleged kidnapping plot last year by Iranian nationals after speaking out against the Iranian regime. Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied any involvement, calling the accusation "baseless and ridiculous," according to semi-official Iranian state media.

  1. I’m so glad nothing happened to her, she’s a great activist for women’s rights! Interesting that the gov’t of Iran is so frightened by this woman. Have to wonder why.

    1. So she’s a high level target eh? Ok. I’m all ears for her fight for human rights.
      I’m all about women’s rights, and truth to power, but this story smells funny. I hope its above board.
      I want those questions they asked her to be answered.
      Maybe I’m missing something, because the story of the FBI being at her door to stop the “hit”… yet there was a complaint by her, and she releases an old pic of a guy from the 1st attempt, a kidnapping, that failed, but this was murder, but he was driving away after 2 days hanging out in his car?????
      I’m confused. The ” real life” movie is gonna be a headfuck.
      I need to see the trial, or a prisoner exchange for this one.
      Was he arrested at the door. Or down the street after he was driving away?
      I’m confused.

    1. @Stuart Dryer it doesn’t matter to them they just spew talking points that make no sense.Im surprised they aren’t bringing up hunters laptop or some other nonsense culture war trash.

    1. @I Love Jesus Reigns Forever stop living in fear n trying to spread unfounded negative nonsense it’s not very Jesus like.

    1. @Leon Russell, that is NOT the same thing as what is being preached and you know it. There is no “Religious” book more full of hatred and bigoted nonsense than the Bible. Who says “there’s one creator of the universes”? There’s absolutely no evidence to even remotely suggest a creator is even a real thing. Lying about it isn’t making it happen.

    1. @Summer Night Yeah, why not? because every year a lot of brilliant experts immigrate to the united states from Iran, they are talented and they can create more jobs. When the US will be enriched, on the other hand, Iran will be poorer.

    1. I’m an Iranian student, u Americans hosted this lady, I don’t like my government but I feel disgusted when I see this woman,

  2. “Courage is not the the absence of fear but the triumph over it” Nelson Mandela!! Respect to this beautiful and courageous woman.

  3. “I’m not scared of my life at all…I have only one life and I dedicated it to give a voice to (those who have no voice in Iran).” When the word courage is defined and embodied by a woman.

    1. @Oppression Olympics what does tolerance have to do with it??? Would you tolerate your attempted murderer … until one of their attempts is successful??? Don’t be whack.

    2. @Pete thundabox so go do some research, bub. Also, half of your questions were answered in the video. Comprehension is key.

  4. This woman is talking about the Mothers and their pain while someone was out her door trying to kill her. That is courage and strength!

    2. @Saeed SaIMon sure sounds like you support your government because she speaks out against them and for some reason you don’t like her words.

  5. Wow! Very powerful words from a strong person with a lot of drive in her heart that can motivate people.we need more people like her.

    1. @Mr Blonde exactly abother good example Tiananmen square 1989 that guy that faced down a freaking tank . stood in front of it unflinching unwilling to step aside . he held back that tank with his conviction for like an hour .

    1. After hearing the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation underappreciated and bashed by cultists from 2016 to early 2021 your statement is refreshing.
