Masih Alinejad, Iranian-American journalist and activist, describes the ongoing protests in Iran as a pivotal moment akin to the fall of the Berlin Wall, urging Western leaders to take decisive action. She recounts the anguish of Iranians abroad, cut off from loved ones due to internet blackouts and forced to search for family members among images of the dead. Despite brutal crackdowns, Alinejad says protesters remain undeterred, demonstrating extraordinary bravery in the face of escalating violence.

Alinejad criticizes European governments and Western political movements for their muted responses, calling for the expulsion of Iranian diplomats and an end to negotiations with Tehran. She warns that the regime's brutality extends beyond Iran's borders, posing a threat to global security. Having survived multiple assassination attempts herself, Alinejad insists that silence and restraint from world leaders will only embolden the regime and endanger more lives.

She concludes with a call for solidarity and courage, emphasizing that the current uprising is not just a protest but a revolution. Alinejad dreams of returning to a free Iran and urges the international community to support those risking everything for freedom.
