Iranian activist Masih Alinejad urges Trump to act for Iran protesters
Iranian activist and journalist Masih Alinejad called on US President Donald Trump to take concrete steps in support of protesters in Iran, thanking him for what she described as strong backing.
Trump’s words mattered, Alinejad said in a post on X, but urged immediate action. She called for expanded access to free internet by asking Elon Musk to increase Starlink coverage so authorities cannot silence protests by cutting connectivity.
Alinejad also urged Washington to expel Iranian diplomats from the United States, arguing that representatives of a government that shoots protesters should not enjoy diplomatic privileges. Alinejad further called for “maximum consequences” against Iranian officials who ordered live fire, saying those responsible must face “real, personal, and irreversible consequences.”
