The Spin

Anti-Iran narrative

Iran's rogue clerical regime should have known that death threats would not stop Alinejad from speaking out against restrictions on women, especially because Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had already backed foiled plots to kidnap and murder her. The Islamic Republic is rotten to the core, and is completely terrified of the women of Iran who are defying its authority. It is just a matter of time to its collapse.

Pro-Iran narrative

Though anti-Iranian media has attempted to create the illusion that Alinejad is a revolutionary leader, she is just a US-backed fame-seeker claiming to support the people of Iran while encouraging the Western world to ramp up sanctions and launch a military attack on the nation. The so-called journalist lacks credibility even among those who protested in Iran.
