The Justice Department's announcement reveals a chilling plot, demonstrating the extreme measures taken by Iran's leadership to silence dissent. Among those charged, the IRGC's Ruhollah Bazghandi is accused of orchestrating the assassination scheme against Masih Alinejad, highlighting the regime's global reach and its willingness to contract violent acts abroad. Alinejad, actively critiquing the mandatory hijab policies and the regime's treatment of women, confirmed she was the intended target, thus reiterating the serious risks faced by dissidents.
Alinejad remarked, 'The revelation that the assassination plot against me in July 2022 was orchestrated by Ali Khamenei's IRGC is a stark reminder of the brutal lengths to which the Islamic regime will go to silence dissidents, even those far beyond Iran's borders.' This emphasizes the Iranian regime's willingness to resort to violent measures to suppress opposing voices and the significant dangers TO which dissidents, solidly positioned in the US, are exposed.
