"The niece and grand-niece of the deceased commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Gen Qasem Soleimani, have been arrested, the State Department has said.Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter's lawful US permanent resident status was revoked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a statement released.
Gen Soleimani, who was Iran's most powerful military commander, was killed in 2020 in a US air strike in Iraq which was ordered by then US President Donald Trump.
The State Department said Soleimani Afsha is an "outspoken supporter of the totalitarian, terrorist regime in Iran".
The statement also added that Soleimani Afshar had promoted "Iranian regime propaganda" on her social media account.
Soleimani Afshar's husband has also been barred from the US, the statement said. The state department did not name Soleimani Afshar's daughter or husband."
