Journalist Celebrates Khamenei Death in NYC
Clear Facts
- President Trump confirmed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s death on Truth Social Saturday.
- Journalist Masih Alinejad celebrated openly in New York City streets.
- Iran plotted multiple times to assassinate Alinejad for criticizing the regime.
Trump announced Operation Epic Fury early Saturday morning before confirming Khamenei’s death hours later. Alinejad shared video of her joyous reaction on X.
“Every morning I wake up reading that my people are being killed by Ali Khamenei, but this is the first morning in my life that I get the good news, but I wanna run,”
Alinejad said.
“I wanna run. I wanna run.”
“I wanna run. I wanna just run.”
“I wanna just run and shout and shout and shout out of joy, out of joy, out of joy, out of joy.”
Finally, you’re dead finally, you’re gone @khamenei_ir.
Women hugged Alinejad as she celebrated after learning of Netanyahu’s remarks via CBS anchor Major Garrett.
“Khamenei’s dead?”
Alinejad asked Garrett, hand to her chest.
“If he’s really dead, this is a day of celebration. I call every Iranian, every American, if Ali Khamenei is gone, do not mourn.”
“Do not even dare to mourn for the killing of a terrorist, because removing a terrorist is not tragedy. It’s a sign of justice.”
Alinejad compared the moment to Americans celebrating Osama bin Laden’s death.
She urged no mourning for the oppressor responsible for massacres and her own targeting.
Previously, Alinejad criticized Biden for granting a visa to Iran’s Raisi.
“[Alinejad] was targeted for exercising the rights to which every American citizen is entitled.
[Alinejad] publicized the Iranian Government’s human rights abuses; discriminatory treatment of women; suppression of democratic participation and expression; and use of arbitrary imprisonment, torture, and execution,”
then-Attorney General Merrick Garland stated.

The only brainless people that are sad for this killer are the liberals and Democrats who desire to be rich and have absolute power without interference and still go around talking about how much freedom means to them. BS. They want to treat us like a dictator who will tell us what to do and what to think.
