Hamideh Soleimani Afshar (left), 47, and her daughter Sarinsadat Hosseini, 25, relatives of the Iranian leader, were living a luxurious life in the US.

After the State Department revoked the green cards of Hamideh Suleimani Afshar, the niece and granddaughter of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, and her daughter Sarinsadat Hosseini, the administration is targeting other elite Iranians living in the US. Katie Miller, the podcaster wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, appeared on Fox News and said she was aware that President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were working diligently to revoke the visas of approximately 3,000 to 4,000 Iranian elites living in the US. Miller also asked why so many elite people of the Iranian regime were given protection not only in the US but also in European countries. “The double standard, not only in their wardrobe, but the fact that they get to live here in the greatest country in the world in security and prosperity, you can’t get enough of that,” Miller said. After the outbreak of the war, Dr. Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani, whose late father was a top official in Tehran, was removed from Emory University, prompting a massive backlash asking why she was allowed to retain the prestigious position of assistant professor at Emory University’s Winship Cancer Institute in Atlanta.However, the most high-profile cases are the ICE arrests of the mother-daughter duo as their arrests revealed that they were living a luxurious life in Los Angeles. “While in the United States, he (Afshar) promoted Iranian regime propaganda, celebrated attacks against U.S. troops and military facilities in the Middle East, praised the new Iranian Supreme Leader, denounced the U.S. as the “Great Satan” and voiced his unwavering support for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a designated terrorist organization. “Afshar Soleimani promoted this propaganda for Iran’s terrorist regime while enjoying a lavish lifestyle in Los Angeles, as evidenced by his frequent postings on his recently deleted Instagram account,” the State Department said. Afshar entered the US on a tourist visa in 2015 and was later granted asylum by an immigration judge in 2019. She became a lawful permanent resident in 2021. But in his 2025 naturalization application, officials say he disclosed multiple trips to Iran after receiving his green cardWhich is now grounds for disqualification. His daughter entered the United States on a student visa in July 2015. In 2019, a judge granted him asylum. She became a green card holder in 2023.
