Secretary of State Marco Rubio Revokes Visas for Iranian Officials and Family Members of Regime Leaders

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has taken strong action against Iranian nationals tied to the regime. According to Live Now from Fox, the Trump administration revoked green cards and visas for at least four such individuals this week, including the niece and grand-niece of former Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps chief Qassem Soleimani. Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were arrested late Friday by immigration agents after Rubio deemed them ineligible for permanent resident status. They had lived a lavish lifestyle in Los Angeles while publicly supporting the Iranian government and anti-American attacks, Rubio noted in a post on X. He called Afshar an outspoken supporter who celebrated attacks on Americans and labeled the United States the Great Satan. The State Department confirmed on Saturday that Afshar’s husband is also banned from entering the country. NewsNation reports this follows Rubio revoking visas for Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani, daughter of Iran’s former national security adviser, and her husband. Rubio remains a key voice in the ongoing U.S. military operations against Iran, which began February 28. National Today states the White House deployed him to clarify messaging, with a video statement and Al Jazeera interview on April 1 defending strikes on Iran’s nuclear program. In a recent Bill O’Reilly interview on April 6, Rubio said Iran was assembling long-range rockets capable of reaching Europe and nearing bomb-grade uranium enrichment from 60 to 90 percent in 12 to 14 days. He outlined four objectives: destroy Iran’s air force and navy, which are largely achieved; eliminate missile launchers; and wipe out their defense factories for drones and missiles. We are on or ahead of schedule, Rubio affirmed, emphasizing these steps prevent Iran from hiding nuclear development behind a shield of weapons. Today, the State Department schedule shows Rubio meeting New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters at 10 a.m. Following a G7 foreign ministers meeting in France on March 27, he addressed Iran’s destabilizing role and U.S. goals in the Middle East.
