The glitzy LA-based niece of slain Iranian terror mastermind Qasem Soleimani used her social media to spread the regime's wartime propaganda against the US and back Tehran's threats against Iranian expats branded "traitors" before her Friday arrest by ICE agents.
Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, 47, didn't just repost regime messaging — she echoed it in her own words, cheering a crackdown on dissidents and amplifying wartime narratives boosting Tehran's battlefield performance.
In vulgar posts, Afshar called the US the "Great Satan" and celebrated attacks against American soldiers stationed in the Middle East, according to the State Department.
