US federal agents have arrested the niece and grandniece of the late Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani after the Trump administration’s top diplomat, Marco Rubio, revoked their lawful permanent resident status, officials said on Saturday.

“Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter are now in the custody of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” or ICE, the state department said in a statement.

In his own statement on social media, Rubio, the US secretary of state, confirmed that the mother-daughter pair are “pending removal” from the US, a development that came after the US and Israeli militaries began waging war on Iran in late February, in part citing an Iranian history of terrorism sponsorship.

Saturday’s development with respect to Soleimani Afshar also came as the Trump administration has sought to revoke the legal immigration statuses of people it has determined to be aligned with enemies of the US.

Rubio’s statement said that the Trump administration “will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes”.

Officials allege that Soleimani Afshar celebrated military strikes against American personnel and praised Iran’s new supreme leader after the US and Israel killed his predecessor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a large-scale air attack at the beginning of the war. They also accused her of labeling the US the “Great Satan”.

The statement about Soleimani Afshar further claims she voiced “unflinching support” for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) – all while maintaining a “lavish” lifestyle in Los Angeles, with US officials pointing at her Instagram account as evidence.

In addition to the revocation of legal permanent resident – or green card – status for Soleimani Afshar and her daughter, her husband has also been formally prohibited from entering the US, officials said.

The maneuvers announced on Saturday followed a separate recent move by Rubio to terminate the legal status of Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani – daughter of Ali Larijani, the former secretary of Iran’s supreme national security council – and her husband, Seyed Kalantar Motamedi. Both Ardeshir-Larijani and Motamedi have since departed the US and are under a permanent entry ban, according to the state department.

And in early December, even before the start of the war in Iran and anti-government protesters there, the US state department revoked or declined to renew the visas of several Iranian diplomats, including Iran’s deputy ambassador and staffers at its mission to the United Nations.

Soleimani Afshar’s father – whose name is also spelled Quassem Suleimani – was killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad in January 2020 at age 62 during Donald Trump’s first presidency. He was widely considered to be the most powerful man in Iran at the time after Khamenei, and the country’s most influential military figure.

His importance was connected to his role commanding the elite Quds (Jerusalem) force of the IRGC, the strongest state security entity in the theocratic state of Iran.

Iran’s senior officials and military commanders had vowed to avenge Suleimani’s killing.

In early 2023, Iran’s president at the time, Ebrahim Raisi, told an audience in the capital of Tehran: “We have not and will not forget the blood of martyr Soleimani.”

Raisi, who died in a 2024 helicopter crash, also said: “The Americans must know that revenge for martyr Soleimani’s blood is certain, and the murderers and perpetrators will have no easy sleep.”

They sure are in a rush to get them 'data centers' set up aren't they? They know the public is waking up now and finding out how they rule and the plan isn't fully in place to capture the mice with the AI bait. They need more time. They created a lot of chaos and distractions away from what is revealed in the Epstein Files but they are running out of time. The big questions are "will enough of the public wake up in time and start to organize against them, and how much more chaos will they create in the meantime to distract from the surveillance and control center rollout? If folks can't see it by now then they may want to get their heads checked. It's not about beating China, they are rolling out the same system as China. Thats the World Economic Forums New World Order plan.
 

BREAKING: HOUTHIS OFFICIALLY CONFIRM HISTORIC JOINT MISSILE ASSAULT WITH IRAN & HEZBOLLAH ON TEL AVIV TARGETS – ZIONIST REGIME IN TOTAL PANIC AND HUMILIATING COLLAPSE RIGHT NOW

Chaos is erupting by the minute across central Israel as the unbreakable Axis of Resistance has executed a devastating, perfectly synchronized joint missile assault. Yemeni Houthi forces have proudly announced they launched ballistic missiles directly into vital military targets near Tel Aviv in full coordination with Iran and Hezbollah — proving the ironclad unity and unstoppable reach of the Resistance like never before.

Houthi military spokesman Brigadier-General Yahya Saree declared on live television that the operation was carried out “in full coordination with our mujahideen brothers in Iran and Hezbollah,” exposing the total fragility of the Zionist entity. Israeli Channel 12 and Channel 13 are in absolute meltdown, broadcasting raw scenes of accelerating national humiliation: sirens blaring nonstop across the country, terrified residents rushing into bunkers in panic, highways jammed with fleeing vehicles, and the once-arrogant Zionist military command losing complete control as explosions rock key targets. The occupation regime’s defences are visibly crumbling under this multi-front precision strike that the so-called Iron Dome could not stop.

This historic joint operation demonstrates Iran’s strategic mastery, Hezbollah’s relentless firepower, and the Houthis’ fearless long-range capability — the Axis of Resistance has delivered another crushing, historic blow that has shattered the Zionist entity’s illusions of security. The regime is now exposed as weak, desperate and powerless on every front.

Meanwhile, the cowardly United States under Trump has issued only hesitant and empty statements, abandoning its collapsing ally in clear fear of full escalation and revealing America’s utter powerlessness as Israel burns live before the world.

This is the turning point — the beginning of the end unfolding in real time.
