Secretary of State Rubio Revokes Green Cards of Iranian Officials' Relatives Amid Crackdown on Terror Regime Supporters

from Marco Rubio - News and Info Tracker · host Inception Point AI

Secretary of State Marco Rubio took decisive action this week against Iranian nationals tied to the regime. According to the State Department, Rubio revoked the green cards of Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter, niece and grand-niece of former Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps chief Qassem Soleimani. Live Now from Fox reports they were arrested late Friday by immigration agents and are now in custody of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement facing deportation. The State Department statement notes Afshar and her daughter lived a lavish lifestyle in Los Angeles while publicly supporting the Iranian government and anti-American attacks. Rubio stated on X that she celebrated attacks on Americans and called the United States the Great Satan. He emphasized the Trump administration will not allow the country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes. Livenowfox.com details this follows other recent revocations by Rubio, including visas for Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani, daughter of Iran's former national security adviser Ali Larijani, and her husband Seyed Kalantar Motamedi. Earlier in December, Rubio's department revoked visas for several Iranian diplomats and staff at Iran's mission to the United Nations. The US Embassy in Iran media note from April 4 confirms Rubio's moves target those with ties to the Iranian terror regime. On Cuba, Linewsradio.com reports Rubio condemned the regime's medical missions as a coercive labor export scheme exploiting workers through forced labor. He stated these officials abetted the program, which separates families, imposes surveillance, and gives workers little pay under threat. Today, the State Department's public schedule shows Rubio meeting with New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters at the Department of State at 10:00 a.m. In late March, following a G7 foreign ministers meeting in France, Rubio addressed the press on Iran's destabilizing role, as covered in YouTube reports from that event.
