Unfortunately this self inflicted unforced error is now reality.
99.9%of Iranian immigrants are just people who prefer this country to their own for any number of reasons from salary to family to education to opportunity. In short they're "good" Iranians (or "Persians" if they're LA doctors...)
That 99.9% is now suffering for an extremely unlikely possibility that we created for no good reason.
There are spies and hackers though and now we have to consider potential saboteurs because we effectively painted the Iranian leadership into that very corner.
Apparently the assassination was the most extreme option from a large list and of course Trump picked it. I am also assuming he saw a ranked list instead of a carefully curated list to stop him doing exactly this shit. His advisors should know better but he's slowly eliminated all the borderline smart people to save him and us from his worst instincts.

This is worse. These are United States citizens and permanent residents.
This wont last long. Iranian american citizens have a lot of money and influence- most of them are lawyers, businesspeople, landlords, etc. heads finna roll, this'll go to the courts.
Whaaat I have never used twitter. I don't even know what a Resetera is!
What happens if you tell the truth and say you think Trump is a dangerous idiot?
All it takes is 1-2 lawyers to be detained and they'll start a legal shitstorm, dont underestimate our peoples ability to hold grudges lmao
This isnt WW2 where they got away with Japanese internment, they'll be accountable for this one
I'm guessing Putin suggested this course of action to him a long time ago.
It's pretty easy to see how this works, if you're a brown/black American you're not really American and your loyalty is automatically in question. Just like how you can run a campaign on the basis of saying America isn't great but minorities can't aren't allowed to say the same without being labelled as treasonous.
I really want to know what's going to happen to CBP/ICE going forward once we get rid of Trump. I can't see how they can be allowed to remain a federal organization after carrying out Trump's racist doctrine for four years.

Iran buys advanced anti-air defence weapons from Russia. The president's threats about 50+ targets could spur billions in defence spending even without further escalation.
Yup this is just good ol American bigotry and racism no outside influence needed.
This is not good, showed up on my timeline today, I can't confirm The veracity
Of this report.
Of this report.
It's cute you still have faith in the American justice system.
Yeah, everyone I know that Iranian are very anti-the Iranian government.
This administration has sadly made it a point to purposefully repeat the terrible things past administrations have done.
My cousins are Iranian. Nothing to report so far, but they had plans to travel and are currently reconsidering.
The 2017 Muslim Ban occurred all over the country as thousands of people found themselves stranded all over in airports where it was easy for people to rally to them as news about it exploded. Here on the other hand are varying reports of a few people here and there being detained for extra questioning and then being released on their way with the most prominent area apparently being a place in Washington where the questioning occurred overnight and supposedly no one is still even being detained.
If this is the case, what are the odds that this all settles down because Putin calls Trump and just tells him "Sit. Down. Roll over," and he suddenly declares Iran is friends with the USA and it was all a big misunderstanding?
I mean, if Putin has Trump under his thumb anyway, couldn't one phone call just make this all go away?
There was probably not a "directive" but a nudge nudge make sure to quadruple check their credentials before letting them back in and use whatever excuse you need to to tell them to justify the delay.
So a directive but there's no paper trail.

When are they going to be held accountable for locking up children in, basically, concentration camps?
While highly immoral it's legally nebulous as they're not citizens or entering the country on a travel visa.
