U.S. Arrests Relatives of Late Iranian Maj. Gen. Soleimani -- WSJ

Dow Jones04-05

By Jennifer Calfas

Federal agents arrested the niece and grand niece of the late Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani after the State Department ended their lawful permanent resident status, the department said on Saturday.

Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were arrested Friday night and are now in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. The State Department did not say where they were arrested. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a post on X that Soleimani Afshar and her daughter lived "lavishly" in the U.S. and are now in ICE custody "pending removal" from the U.S.

The State Department described Soleimani Afshar as "an outspoken supporter of the totalitarian, terrorist regime in Iran." Her husband is also now not permitted to enter the U.S., the State Department said. Her uncle Maj. Gen. Soleimani, the former leader of the foreign wing of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was killed in a U.S. airstrike in 2020.

Rubio also ended legal status protections for Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani, the daughter of the late Ali Larijani, Iran's former top national-security official, and her husband, the State Department said. The department said they are no longer in the U.S. and not permitted to enter in the future.
