The Iranian government has been implicated in a serious scheme to abduct journalist Masih Alinejad from New York. In a plot involving the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and members of the Russian mob, authorities disrupted a murder-for-hire attempt to silence her. Alinejad, known for her outspoken criticism of Iran’s regime, faced direct threats even in the U.S., highlighting the lengths Iranian officials will go to suppress dissent. As the trial of those involved begins, it will shed light on the international implications of Iran's retaliatory tactics against dissidents.
In 2022, an audacious plot to silence Ms. Alinejad emerged, linked to figures within the Iranian government and criminal organizations, exposing serious international threats.
Officials revealed that a man was caught lurking outside Alinejad's residence, armed with a rifle and a ski mask, underscoring the grave danger she faced.
