There are Iranian women, though a minority, who are not in favor of the mandatory veil – a legitimate grievance, an opinionated dissatisfaction to which humankind is entitled. And then there are people leading a fraudulent anti-hijab movement with a barrel aimed at Tehran.
Masoumeh “Masih” Alinejad-Ghomi
Meet Masih Alinejad, Washington’s weapon of choice for flaring up the largest color revolution attempt in Iran today.
“I’m leading this movement,” Alinejad, 46, told The New Yorker on Saturday. “The Iranian regime will be brought down by women. I believe this.”
Operating from an FBI safehouse, Alinejad has been living in the US for the past decade working as a full-timer for VOA Persia – or, Voice of America, Persia – Washington’s propaganda mouthpiece funded directly by the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), a soft power arm of the empire fully funded by US Congress, made to capitalize on harmful narratives in favor of Washington’s corporatocracy.
Alinejad’s tasks are quite a few: To take cozy photographs with the world’s most effective pro-war politicians who’ve only done everything to wipe out West Asia, such as Mike “We lied, we cheated, we stole” Pompeo, and Madeleine “The price is worth it [to kill Iraqi children]” Albright.

But, that’s not all. Between 2015 and 2022, the US Agency for Global Media paid Alinejad over $628,000 to harass veiled women, spew propaganda, and demand more sanctions against her country (not a very patriotic thing to do). Alinejad has been doing everything in her media power to isolate her country, attempting to render it a pariah state banned from all diplomatic, economic, and political privileges in the global arena. Indeed, a champion for imperialism, Alinejad is on a fat CIA payroll to incite violence and lies.
- Masih Alinejad’s US government payroll is visible on a number of websites, such as govtribe.com and USASpending.gov, just by punching in her UEI in the search bar: H2JFTHB14639.
The latest narrative exploited by Alinejad is as such: 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, in a CCTV footage, gets in a verbal dispute with a female police officer over the way she had her hijab wrapped around her head. There is no escalation for the dispute; the woman leaves the girl alone and walks away. In a matter of seconds, the young woman freezes, bends, and falls over a chair to which bystanders ran to attend. The girl, who had undergone an open brain surgery in 2006, sustained a heart attack which put her in a coma. Two days later, she was announced dead, after which Western tabloids accused Iranian police of beating Amini to death, leading to the riots.
Admitting to lead the riots against the government is only a statement. Her tweets further expose her agenda – the transfer in narrative from one tweet to the next is baffling.
On September 14, the day Amini suffered a heart attack, Alinejad made no mention of beating or violence. She wrote on Twitter: “Amini suffers heart attack after being arrested by the morality police.”
On September 15, the CIA asset ramps up the rhetoric a notch: “This woman is in a coma because morality police savagely arrest her.” Still, no mention of abuse, beatings, or physical violence.
Between that tweet and comment, Alinejad caters to her bosses: “Amini is in a coma after being beaten by the morality police.”
On September 16, the day the young woman was announced dead, Alinejad launched a hashtag which she had been paving fertile grounds: “#MahsaWasMurdered by the Islamic Republic’s hijab police in Iran.”
Washington’s lackeys were at work too: One of the first to accuse the police of beating Amini was Maziar Bahari-founded IranWire. Bahari is an anti-Tehran Iranian exile who has admitted to “covering illegal demonstrations” and “helping promote color revolutions” in Iran. An empire asset.
The second Twitter post which propagated the false narrative was from Babak Taghvaee, a double-agent exile accused of disseminating sensitive information to the CIA and Mossad; a military contributor to Israel Hayom, Pentagon research reports, and US State Department-funded Radio Free Asia/Radio Liberty, which is also on a BBG payroll.
With the hundreds of fake accounts which trended the matter on social media, the tweets gained massive momentum, and riots were immediately stirred up. Terrorist groups among the crowds were detected and arrested carrying sharp weapons and explosives, killings were carried out with the aim to blame on the government, and rioters burned banks and other irrelevant state institutions, creating chaos. The MEK, mind you, has been a terrorist organization in the US until being delisted in 2014 – the year Alinejad made her way to the US. Now, tabloids pair “freedom-loving Iranians” with MEK supporters and organizers.
Washington for long has tried to mobilize Iranians against their government, either through media propaganda or sanctions. The chaos brewing is a dream come true for Alinejad, a byproduct of decades of work. A Wikileaks cable from 2009 sent to the US State Department wrote about a dissatisfied Alinejad complaining of a “lack of cohesion among reformists” which was impeding Washington’s plans and interests.
Global media, Hillary Clinton, Regime-change Soros’ Open Society Foundation, and the NED have all simultaneous bandwagon on the campaign, shedding crocodile tears on Iranian women. Mind you, these entities have projected, enabled, and funded the most brutal, patriarchal policies against women around the world, including in the United States. There was no regard for Palestinian, Yemeni, Iraqi, Libyan or Syrian women when the US either bombed or funded weaponry to bomb societies back into the Stone Age. Washington funds the most repressive entity in West Asia today, “Israel,” whose system bases itself on racism, rape, and uprooting.
Not to mention the sanctions which Alinejad has repeatedly called for to be implemented against Iran, as she “believes” they work. Sanctions have affected the lifestyles of many Iranian women, impeding them from their right to sanitation, securing quality nutrition and health for their children, and utilizing resources for healthy living. Not so feminist, is it?
The hijab is a democratically voted and a legitimatized law
Perhaps Big Media’s abuse of freedom is not leaving any space for us to investigate. Facts, when conveyed effectively, are an angry mass’ greatest sedative: After Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi’s government was toppled in 1979, revolution leader Imam Khomeini held a nationwide referendum on which people voted whether or not they advocated for Iran to be ruled by an Islamic constitution. Within this context, Iranian women integrated the hijab into the constitution, and Iranian women have the right to revoke it if they wanted to. The law is a democratic decision made by the people and the women of Iran. Hence, the legitimacy of the law is still intact.
The popular support for the law was reiterated in a 2014 national poll that collected data from all provinces across the country, holding the question of whether they agree that the mandatory hijab should be implemented on Iranian women even if they do not agree with it. Around 19% of the population completely agreed, 35% simply agreed, and 25% were neutral.
So the question here is: What is there to fight for when Iranian women themselves are in favor of the hijab by popular referendum and demonstration? Do the West and its blinded followers want to save Iranian women from themselves?
For a population widely familiar with Edward Said’s Orientalism, this projection could be quite embarrassing.
The infiltration and disruption of a society
In 2002, former Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu held a two-hour-and-a-half-hour conference just before George Bush announced his invasion of Iraq, in which he called on the United States to foment regime change in Iran (and Iraq, obviously), offering an explanation on how to dismantle the anti-imperialist social fabric in the country. In his vision, Fox Broadcasting would air “Beverly Hills 90210” and “Melrose Place” to Iranians through their televisions. “This is pretty subversive stuff,” he remarked. “The kids of Iran would want the nice clothes they see on those shows. They would want the swimming pools and fancy lifestyles.”
The current riots in Iran are not an event suspended in time, but rather a continuation of years of disruption attempts by people like Alinejad and Netanyahu. The very social fabric of the country is what kicked out Western greed in 1979; a fabric largely built on cultural affluence and appreciation for tradition brewed over the course of centuries. To shift that fabric would entail transforming the material conditions. Hedonism, pleasure and materialism are weapons in a toolbox used to dumb down communities into virtual enslavement.
Hearts may be in the right direction, but not in the right place. Activists on social media have taken to advocate for the “autonomy” of Iranian women (according to their standards and terms), regardless that it may not be consistent with the nature of their state or society.
If we truly want to help and support Iranian women, we must first bring our cultural projections to consciousness – Are we truly supporting their struggle, or are we telling them how they should live their lives? For a society that is proud and emotionally attached to its culture, are we doing justice by following governmental-funded tabloids attempting to dismantle the very fabric of an anti-imperialist society that has evolved so progressively?
There isn’t much predictability about when the fog of propaganda would clear up so we could perceive matters free of the manufactured anger that the media has managed to muster from millions.
Riots on a payroll
For more than 40 years, a harsh embargo has been imposed on Iran. Yet, Iran was able to self-sustain and overcome the sanctions. Nonetheless, Western attempts to disrupt Iran did not cease, and external interventions to tear the country apart are relentless. Today, Iran unveils the terror attacks, media campaigns, and Western sedition aimed at destabilizing the country.

Like Fast Moving ISIS troopers build and trained by CIA MI6, this smelly Jewish Woman is a Media ISIS chewing the nerve of Iranian ! I have no doubt , she is infected with ZIKA virus and looking at the head of this woman, I see a Orange size head, possibly with no or less brain inside !
First sentence “There are Iranian women, though a minority, who are not in favor of the mandatory veil” is completely wrong. For it to be true it has to read There are Iranian woman, though a minority, who are in favor of the mandatory veil.”
After 6 months of not a bleep on Iran, please inform yourself a little before publishing.
Last sentence “Today, Iran unveils the terror attacks, media campaigns, and Western sedition aimed at destabilizing the country” is also completely wrong. Iran had PressTV way before RT was born which was continually exposing the filth in London and Washington, but the “free western press” had to shut it down for being exposed as the frauds that they are.
This opposition in expats was always around in western capitals but Trump with his Likud handlers turbocharged them. He killed Soleimani.
Toxic crypto-khazarian hag!
Like many other countries, there is Khazar Mafia existing also in Iran , mostly concentrated in North of Iran from the time Rusi and Moscovia, later known as Slavic nations ! This women is a Jumper Agent, special mind Control Agent, called Psycho – Agent of western mind war academy. Very cheap of Human Bomb version, against the nation, where she alleged to be part of , which is Iran ! Yet she is a Wander Who smelly Jews, with Russian, Khazar later Iranian and now British Citizen . This is what we call crypto Citizen, which are used and Abused by British MI 6 demonis Department !
There’s a famous joke in Iran (which is more than a joke), that goes like this: In all countries people want to overthrow their regimes, their politicians don’t let, in Iran politicians want to overthrow the regime, people don’t let… 🤣 wtf…The ‘reformist’ political party is indeed the hand of Zios and America in Iran… and the root cause of the messy economic situation in Iran is their fking policies than the US sanctions…
Almost a fair account of what has happened in Iran over the last 6 months… Sadly, as much as these “reformist” Zio puppets (traitors) have harmed Iran, America and Shitrael couldn’t have done yet…
It’s funny how they say there’s no freedom in Iran, while I can name more than 20 newspapers that are printed every day in Iran, and all their content is written by Mossad and CIA agents. How many anti-America newspapers are printed in America?
This liar Alinejad has also been working for one of those anti-Iran newspapers when she was still living in Iran. I can buy those newspapers from down the street where I live. What a suppressive government!! It doesn’t use its power to shut up all oppositions!
Islamic Merciful act, has been running Iran at the stage of Freedom anarchism ! Those Journalist you mentioned are Propagandist and not Journalist, all of them Sold brain washed !
Sure, Aryans, they are…. ; )
VT a CIA Platform with zero Doubt ! Veteran on pay role of Pentagon will never publish true Comments !
my comment of yesterday also ran afoul of the censors; all i said was “fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me” hoping the Iranians would have gotten wise to the CIA’s regime changing dirty tricks.
Congratulations on tieing that vicious female with very tarnished Albright & that VP, CIA guy.
Is that female a self professed “jew” of Edomite, Ashkenaz, Khazar heritage?
Yes , She is from North of Iran and her Parents are Immigrant from Khazar Region ( CIS ) to Iran after WWII . The the red communist soviets, occupying north Iran and were willing to leave Iran , only if the Soviets could Install tribes of Khazar ( Jews) into Iran .The Woman in picture is the Doughtier of Immigrants, who are mostly small head entity , meaning they are infected with ZIKA Virus ! A Tribe of brainless Khazar , were imposed on Iran by Red Communists ! Today this brainless woman is even British Citizen ! Meaning , she has no right to discuss Iranian Politic as to meddle in Internal Affair, but VT , will not publishes this comment and so , We hope people get to know the Fact about which is which and who is who !
