U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has revoked the privileges of senior Iranian officials and their family members to be in the United States, the Department of State said in a Jan. 29 post on X.

“As the people of Iran continue to fight for their basic rights, [Rubio] took action this week to revoke the privilege of Iranian senior officials and their family members to be in the United States. Those who profit from the Iranian regime’s brutal oppression are not welcome to benefit from our immigration system,” said the post.
