While Iranian protesters die by the thousands in the streets of Tehran, the children of the regime’s brutal elite are living comfortably in American cities—and outraged Iranian-Americans want them kicked out.

- Over 2,000 Iranian protesters killed as regime cracks down on nationwide uprising
- Senior Iranian officials secretly seeking French visas for family members already living abroad

The Ultimate Hypocrisy Exposed
The blood-soaked streets of Iran tell one story while luxury condos in Manhattan and Beverly Hills tell another. As Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei’s forces gun down university students and shopkeepers demanding freedom, his inner circle scrambles to secure European visas for family members already comfortably nestled in Western democracies. The 86-year-old dictator himself maintains a pre-arranged exit strategy complete with 20 trusted aides and access to a $95 billion overseas empire built through the opaque Setad foundation.
Iranian-French journalist Emmanuel Razavi broke the bombshell news that even reformist leaders, including Iran’s parliament speaker, are quietly hiring Paris lawyers to expedite visa applications. This panic at the regime’s highest levels reveals the stark contradiction: those who preach resistance to Western influence have hedged their bets by parking their families in the very nations they publicly despise.
A Revolution in the Making
The current uprising began in late December 2025 when Iran’s currency lost half its value and inflation soared past 40 percent. What started as bazaar protests over economic collapse has morphed into what exiled dissidents are calling a full-scale revolution. The regime’s response has been characteristically brutal—over 1,847 confirmed protester deaths with total casualties exceeding 2,000 as of January 13, 2026.
The US Embassy issued an unprecedented warning for all Americans to leave Iran immediately via Armenia or Turkey, noting that commercial flights remain canceled until at least January 16. Internet blackouts and road closures demonstrate the regime’s desperation to contain information about the scope of resistance. Young protesters like Hessam, Reza, and Sajjad have become martyrs whose funerals spark new clashes with security forces.
Iranian-Americans Demand Justice
The diaspora community that fled Iran’s theocratic oppression decades ago now watches in horror as the children and relatives of their oppressors live freely among them. These regime offspring attend elite American universities, drive luxury cars, and post social media content flaunting Western lifestyles—all funded by wealth extracted from the Iranian people their parents brutalize.
The anger is palpable and justified. While ordinary Iranians face execution for demanding basic freedoms, regime elites hedge their bets by maintaining escape hatches in the West. This represents the ultimate betrayal of the revolutionary ideology that brought the Islamic Republic to power in 1979. The mullahs who preached death to America have quietly been preparing to flee there when their house of cards collapses.
The Reckoning Approaches
The Bush Center’s recent analysis correctly identifies this moment as requiring unwavering support from democracies worldwide for the Iranian people. The regime’s economic failures and human rights catastrophes have created conditions for genuine change. Khamenei’s advanced age and the visible panic among his lieutenants suggest the end may be closer than many realize.
The question facing American policymakers is simple: Should the United States continue providing safe haven to the families of those orchestrating mass murder in Iran? Common sense and basic justice demand accountability. These elite spawn cannot continue enjoying American freedoms while their parents deny those same freedoms to 85 million Iranians through violence and terror.
