There have been three separate attempts to assassinate Masih Alinejad, an Iranian activist and journalist.
In an interview with ITV News, she says Iran has now reached its “Berlin Wall moment” after hundreds of thousands of people protested on the street – thousands were then killed for participating in demonstrations.
Ms Alinejad has said that what the country needs now is democracy, and that despite the violence, she is optimistic about Iran’s future.
“We lost our family and friends, but not hope. This is the end of the Islamic Republic,” she told ITV News Global Security Editor Rohit Kachroo.
