\u201cHamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter are now in the custody of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement,\u201d the State Department said in a statement, saying also that Rubio revoked their green cards. Soleimani was killed in a January 2020 US airstrike in Baghdad during President Donald Trump\u2019s first term in office.<\/p>\n

The State Department said Afshar supported Iran\u2019s government and its propaganda. It also said Afshar\u2019s husband was barred from entering the United States.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Rubio terminated the legal status of Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani, the daughter of veteran Iranian politician Ali Larijani, and her husband Seyed Kalantar Motamedi. Ardeshir-Larijani and Motamedi are no longer in the United States and are barred from future entry, according to the State Department.<\/p>\n

Ali Larijani, an architect of Iran\u2019s security policy, was killed in mid-March by a US-Israeli air attack<\/a>.<\/p>\n
