Iranian-American activist torches Kamala Harris over former VP’s criticism of Iran bombings: ‘Who are you?’
A prominent Iranian-American activist who has survived multiple assassination attempts sharply criticized Vice President Kamala Harris after she condemned President Trump over the deadly U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran.
“Who are you?” asked Masih Alinejad during an interview 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.”
Alinejad added, “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?”
My direct message to you, @KamalaHarris
Who are you?
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.
Now suddenly you’ve found your voice?

Harris had issued a statement over the weekend, 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 criticism of 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 survived a murder attempt at her New York home in 2022. Authorities foiled the plot, arresting the would-be assassin near her Brooklyn home after he ran a stop sign. The suspect ultimately confessed, saying, “I was there to kill the journalist.”
Alinejad, a vocal critic of the Iranian regime and its treatment of women, has faced multiple assassination attempts since fleeing Iran after the contested 2009 elections.
