"Seyed Eissa Hashemi, whose mother was an Iranian revolutionary, had his green card revoked by the state department due to his family's ties to the Iran hostage crisis."
"The state department referred to Hashemi's mother as Screaming Mary, noting her role as a leading propagandist for the violent Islamists during the hostage crisis."
"The Trump administration emphasized that it will never allow America to become a home for foreign nationals tied to anti-American terrorist regimes."
"Federal agents also arrested Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, niece of Qasem Soleimani, for her outspoken support of Iran and celebration of military strikes against US personnel."
The US state department arrested three Iranian nationals, including Seyed Eissa Hashemi, whose mother was a key figure in the 1979 Iran hostage crisis. Their green cards were revoked due to alleged ties to anti-American activities. Hashemi entered the US in 2014 and gained permanent residency in 2016. The Trump administration has ended the diversity visa program, emphasizing a stance against foreign nationals linked to terrorist regimes. Similar actions have been taken against others with connections to Iran, including Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, related to a military general assassinated by the US.
