The United States has been at war with Iran for a month. Iran has been at war with the United States for almost 50 years. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has directed and sponsored terror attacks on U.S. servicemen and citizens, including the U.S. embassy hostages, Beirut Marine barracks, Khobar Towers, roadside bombs in Iraq, assassination plots, missile attacks and much more — a long, bloody campaign against “the Great Satan.”
Wishing “Death to America” doesn’t mean you have to pass up what the Great Satan has to offer. For example, U.S. higher education is quite attractive to the children of Iranian regime officials, as are high-paying professional jobs. And, until recently, getting a student visa or green card was a cinch. You didn’t even have to pretend not to despise your hosts.
For some unfathomable reason, the United States has let in the children of the monsters responsible for uncountable atrocities all over the globe, most of them in Iran. Over time, America has collected something of a Who’s Who of the offspring of Iran’s elite.
Leila Khatami, daughter of former Iranian president Mohammed Khatami, has been in the United States for two decades. She’s a professor at Union College in New York. Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani, the daughter of Ali Larijani (killed in an airstrike last month) came to America for cancer treatment and ended up working for Emery University. Zeinab Hajjarian is the daughter of Saeed Hajjarian, a bigwig in the regime’s security and intelligence services who had the ear of Ayatollah Khomeini in the 1980s. She’s a biomedical engineering professor at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
