Soleimani, the former architect of Iran's intelligence and military operations abroad, was considered one of the most influential figures in Iran before his death in a US strike in 2020.
Rubio said that Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, Soleimani's niece, "lived in luxury in the United States" while being "an open supporter of the Iranian regime who welcomed attacks on Americans."
