Iranian opposition figure Goldie Ghamari threatened Turkish-American journalist Cenk Uygur. Ghamari stated, "You scoundrel! Don't worry, when the Iranian regime is over, we will come after you too."
Iranian opposition politician Goldie Ghamari used harsh and threatening language towards Turkish-American journalist Cenk Uygur during a live broadcast. Ghamari directly targeted Uygur with severe insults, stating, "You dishonorable! Don't worry, when the Iranian regime ends, we will come after you too," drawing attention. The statements made during the live broadcast quickly spread on social media, sparking discussions within the Iranian diaspora and the international community.
The timing of the outburst is notable, coming during a period when protests in Iran, anti-regime movements, and divisions within the opposition are increasingly intensifying. Ghamari is among those who have long used the harshest rhetoric against the Iranian regime, while accusing some figures within the opposition of "indirectly supporting the regime." It is known that Cenk Uygur's comments, particularly regarding the Middle East, Iran, and the Israel-Palestine issue, have been targeted by Ghamari and similar figures.
The threatening language used during the live broadcast has also been criticized in terms of the limits of freedom of expression and the implications of violence in political discourse. Many users on social media argue that such outbursts, made under the pretext of opposing the regime, harm the legitimacy of the opposition, while some factions view Ghamari's words as an "outburst of anger."
So far, there has been no public response from Cenk Uygur regarding the statements in question, while the incident has brought the discussions of harsh language and internal conflict within the Iranian opposition back to the forefront.
