Kamala who?

A well-known Iranian-American activist who has survived several assassination attempts blasted Kamala Harris after the former vice president criticized President Donald Trump over the deadly US-Israeli strikes on Iran.

“Who are you?” asked Masih Alinejad, delivering the stinging rebuke while speaking with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo.

“I am tired of seeing some politicians here in America, especially Democrats, making this about their own politics, scoring political points like Kamala Harris,” she lashed out.

“Suddenly, she kept quiet about the massacre. Suddenly, she found the voice condemning the targeted military strike against the killers. So when ordinary people get massacred, you don’t have any problem?”

Over the weekend, Harris issued a statement describing the attack as “a war the American people do not want” after Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in his fortified compound along with 40 top security and regime officials.

“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.
