US Detains Relatives of Qassem Soleimani After Green Card Revocation
US federal agents have arrested Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter after the State Department and Secretary of State revoked their permanent resident status. They are now in ICE custody and facing removal from the US. Officials accuse Soleimani Afshar of celebrating strikes against American forces, praising Iran’s new leadership, and calling the US the “Great Satan.” Her husband has also been barred from entering the country. A similar ban was recently imposed on the daughter of Iran’s former security council head and her spouse. These actions follow ongoing tensions after Qassem Soleimani’s killing in 2020 and reflect the administration’s broader push to block foreign nationals aligned with adversarial regimes. Will Nigeria’s Trump supporters and geopolitics commentators weigh in on this move? Some voices warn that ordinary Iranians might take swift revenge if Washington delays. How quickly will the US respond before others try to settle scores?
