Iranian dissident Masih Alinejad said this when asked if her work puts her at risk. There's reason to think it does: last year the FBI intervened in a plot by Iranian intelligence to kidnap her from the US. A few months ago a man was arrested outside her home with a rifle. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/feds-probing-man-military-style-rifle-new-york-home-iranian-journalist-rcna40882 https://www.npr.org/2021/07/15/1016300591/the-fbi-warned-an-iranian-american-woman-that-she-might-be-kidnapped https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/irans-kidnapping-plot-exposes-its-paranoia
