Yet, according to the documents, he had no brothers at all, let alone ones corresponding to the identity of General Soleimani, who was born 10 years later in a small village in the southern province of Kerman.

Ali Soleimani Afshar's parents died in his childhood.

Historical passport documents also show that Soleimani Afshar's family origins go back generations to the city of Yazd in central Iran, a province away from the roots of General Soleimani.

The late general is also known to have two brothers, Sorab and Hossein, who have previously given interviews about their upbringing in Rol Qarman that identify themselves as his only brothers.

They have no connection to Ali Soleimani Afshar.

The State Department, though, is standing by its entirely false claims.

They told me in a statement, quote,

we remain certain of the Secretary's determination.

If Dropsite News, scare quotes, is aware of anti-American green card holders with ties to terrorists present in the United States, we would gladly investigate those individuals for possible termination of legal status and deportation, unquote.

Now, one of Serena's friends has set up a GoFundMe to help cover legal bills, which I verified is authentic, and we'll put a link to it in the description.

And so, Emily, what we'll do is we'll also put up a Google Drive.

that has all of these records.

So we've got passports, birth certificates, all kinds of other verified documents, like even wills from her grandparents, and the wills list all of the relatives.

And so by doing that, you can say, okay, here are the possible people that could be her uncle.

And they're saying Uncle Qasim is their uncle.

uh we're saying then if you look at gaza solani here are his brothers and sisters there's no overlap between them and also separately um they're from completely different areas so he is and also politically you can understand this the fact that she was in prison for protesting against the government of which soleimani was a leading figure

means it's completely absurd to think that they'd be related.

There's no world in which the rural conservative family of Qasem Soleimani has a niece who's protesting Soleimani and going to prison for it.

Maybe in America you have those kinds of things happening, and maybe there's some weird case of that happening in Iran.

In any event, it didn't happen.
