US Revokes Residency, Arrests Nephew of Late Iranian General Qasem Soleimani
US immigration authorities have arrested family members of the late Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, including his nephew, in a move that highlights the strict scrutiny of individuals linked to high-ranking Iranian military figures.
The nephew, who had reportedly been maintaining a luxurious lifestyle in Los Angeles, was taken into custody by US immigration officials. The arrest follows reports that the individual had celebrated the deaths of American soldiers.
In a significant administrative action, top US diplomat Marco Rubio revoked the residency permit of Soleimani’s nephew, effectively stripping him of his legal status to remain in the country.
Authorities confirmed that the US arrested the nephew and revoked his Green Card status as a direct consequence of these developments.
The decision to terminate the residency of a relative of the late General underscores the ongoing geopolitical tensions between Washington and Tehran, as the US continues to monitor and act against individuals perceived as threats or as showing hostility toward American military personnel.
