Personal life
On 10 January 2026, Ashourzadeh publicly supported the 2025–2026 Iranian protests by appealing to the international community to oppose the Islamic Republic government's internet cuts, stating: "History has shown that whenever the internet is shut down, severe violence, widespread repression, and deadly crimes against civilians follow."[3] On 17 January, Ashourzadeh, in response to the high death toll from the protests, shared a poem from Fereydoon Moshiri which says: "In the wake of all the blood that dripped on this soil; may this life be our shame, may this bread be our shame, we sat and watched."[4]
