Actress and activist of Iranian origin Nazanin Boniadi said that the inclusion of her name on an Iranian list of individuals and organizations that Tehran classifies as 'hostile' represents a 'badge of honor,' but she stressed in an interview with 'The Lead' program that her main concern remains focused on the suffering of the Iranian people rather than on her own targeting.

Iran frequently targets activists and dissidents abroad through lists and sanctions, as part of its broader campaign to suppress criticism.

Boniadi is known for her prominent role in international campaigns for women's rights in Iran, especially during the recent protests. Iranian authorities often use lists of 'hostiles' to justify sanctions or legal proceedings against their critics. This development comes at a time when tensions remain high between Iran and the West, amid the ongoing economic and social crisis inside the country.
