Two Los Angeles Residents with Iran Revolutionary Guard Ties Arrested, Green Cards Revoked by State Department

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the arrest of two Los Angeles residents with close ties to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. According to the State Department, federal authorities detained Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter Sarinasabat Hosseiny on Friday. The Los Angeles Times reports that Soleimani Afshar is the niece of the late Major General Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian commander killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2020. Rubio stated that while living a lavish lifestyle in the United States, Soleimani Afshar promoted Iranian regime propaganda. She celebrated attacks on American soldiers and military facilities in the Middle East, praised Iran's new Supreme Leader, and called America the Great Satan. She also voiced support for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which the United States designates as a terrorist organization. The State Department revoked their lawful permanent resident status, known as green cards. They are now in custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Soleimani Afshar's husband has been barred from entering the country. ABC seven news coverage confirms Rubio highlighted their promotion of propaganda and celebration of attacks on Americans. This action marks the latest move by Secretary Rubio against relatives of Iranian officials in the United States. The State Department's official release emphasizes targeting foreign nationals with ties to Iran's terror regime. Listeners, thank you for tuning in. Please subscribe for more updates.
