US state department revokes green cards of three Iranian nationals it links to regime

The US State Department revoked the green cards of three Iranian nationals, leading to their arrest by federal agents. These individuals had family ties to prominent Iranian regime figures, including a military general, a regime spokesperson, and a security chief. Specifically, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, whose mother was a spokesperson during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, had his green card terminated along with his wife and son. This action by the Trump administration effectively stripped them of their legal permanent resident status in the United States. The arrests underscore a heightened focus on individuals with perceived links to the Iranian regime within the US.
