US Authorities Arrest Relatives of Late Iranian General Qassem Soleimani

US authorities have arrested the relatives of late Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani, who were living in Los Angeles. According to reports, the US Department of Homeland Security has revoked the green card residency status of several family members, leading to their arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

The individuals involved are reportedly related to Soleimani, a high-ranking official in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps. The exact number of relatives arrested is not specified.

US authorities have confirmed that the arrests were made as part of an ongoing investigation into Soleimani’s activities. The US government has not provided further details on the nature of the investigation or the charges against the arrested individuals.

The arrest of Soleimani’s relatives comes amid heightened tensions between the US and Iran following his death in a drone strike in January 2020.
