The United States has revoked the permanent residency of two women it says are related to Qassem Soleimani, the late major general who led Iran's Quds Force, the foreign branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), from 1998 until his assassination in 2020.

In a statement on Saturday, the US Department of State asserted that Soleimani's niece, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, and her daughter were arrested on Friday night.
