WASHINGTON D.C. – DONALD TRUMP has sensationally moved to revoke the visas of 4,000 Iranian “elites” living in the United States, as his administration ramps up a scorched-earth policy against Tehran’s influence on American soil.
The massive purge, confirmed by high-level administration sources including aide Katie Miller, targets the children and relatives of Iranian government officials who have long enjoyed “lavish lifestyles” in the West while their sponsors chant “Death to America” at home.
The move comes as senior Republicans warn that Iran is attempting a “financial decapitation” of the US by plotting to ditch the Petrodollar in favor of the Chinese Yuan for global oil trades.
White House sources indicate the President has “zero tolerance” for regime-connected nationals living under the protection of the US flag.
”The Trump administration will not allow our country to become a playground for the families of a terrorist regime,” a senior official stated. The crackdown has already seen high-profile deportations, including relatives of the late IRGC commander Qassem Soleimani and former security chief Ali Larijani.
Katie Miller reinforced the administration’s stance, confirming that thousands of visas are being shredded to ensure those with ties to the “Great Satan” rhetoric are sent packing.
The visa crackdown is inextricably linked to a growing economic war. Senator Lindsey Graham sparked fresh alarm this week, claiming Tehran is leading a global charge to dismantle the US dollar’s supremacy.
”Iranians are trying to change the Petrodollar to the Yuan,” Graham warned in a fiery interview. “That needs to end, and it needs to end now. If the dollar falls as the global reserve currency, our economy goes with it.”
Graham argued that the “regime in Tehran” is weaponizing its oil reserves to form a “financial axis” with Beijing—a move Washington views as an act of economic aggression.
The 2026 “Maximum Pressure 2.0” campaign follows a series of military and diplomatic escalations:
Financial Warfare: Since the start of the year, Iran has reportedly insisted that non-hostile ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz pay tolls in Chinese Yuan rather than USD.
Visa Ban 10998: On January 1, 2026, Trump signed a sweeping Proclamation restricting entry from 19 nations, with Iran at the top of the list.
The “Elite” Connection: For decades, US hawks have complained that the “Aghazadeh” (the children of Iran’s ruling elite) study at Ivy League universities and live in luxury in Los Angeles and London while their parents lead anti-Western campaigns.
The message from the Oval Office is clear: the party is over for Tehran’s elite, and the Petrodollar is a line in the sand that Washington is willing to fight for.
