Spawn of Iran’s ruling elite living large in US — and fed-up Iranian-Americans want them deported

The pampered offspring of Iran’s ruling elite are living the American Dream as the country’s brutal regime kills protesters by the thousands — and fed-up Iranians in California and across the US want them out.
Two explosive online petitions have been gaining steam as they call on the US government to immediately deport Eissa Hashemi and Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani — the children of current and onetime prominent Iranian government figures enjoying the comforts of the “Great Satan’’ as opposed to the oppressive streets of Tehran.

Eissa Hashemi is the 43-year-old son of Masoumeh Ebtekar — a k a “Screaming Mary,” the radical spokeswoman for the militants who stormed the US Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days.
His mom was notorious for trying to create propaganda during the hostage crisis by cruelly urging the US victims to describe their horrific ordeal in positive terms.
“If she were on fire on the street, I wouldn’t piss on her to put it out,’’ traumatized former hostage Michael Metrinko once said.
After her son Hashemi graduated from the University of Tehran in 2006, he reportedly moved to the US in 2010 and pursued his Ph.D. in organizational leadership from The Chicago School in LA.
He currently is an adjunct associate professor at his alma mater, enjoying the freedom his mother helped strip from American diplomats decades ago.
Records show he resides in Agoura Hills in LA County.
Hashemi also did not respond to Post requests for comment.
Then there is Ardeshir-Larijani.
She is the daughter of Ali Larijani, the powerful former speaker of the country’s parliament who now serves as secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.
Her father serves as a righthand man to Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has called the US the “Great Satan.”
Not long after President Trump urged Iranians to keep demonstrating against their nation’s dictatorship and condemned its officials for the “senseless killing of protestors,” Larijani fired back at him on X.
“We declare the names of the main killers of the people of Iran: 1- Trump 2- Netanyahu,” Larijani wrote, referring to the president and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanhayu.
Ardeshir-Larijani, 40, lives in Atlanta, Ga., as her father rails against the West and oversees a legislative body that regularly burns the stars and stripes.
She is a licensed doctor and an assistant professor in the hematology and medical oncology department at the prestigious Emory University School of Medicine — and a world away from the deadly crackdown on human rights in Iran.
She did not respond to Post requests for comment Wednesday.
“Why are visas given to these people?’’ raged Mersedeh Shahinkar, who lost her right eye to a bullet during a protest involving women’s rights in Iran in 2022, to The Post on Wednesday.
“Why should they freely travel and live comfortably here? If Iran is good for them, if the Islamic Republic is good for them, they should go live there,” the California resident said.
The petitions on Change.org argue that it is a slap in the face to the American people — and the Iranian people suffering under the regime — to allow the relatives to stay here.
“We, the Iranian people, demand the deportation of these individuals,” the petitions read. “They benefit from the wealth of the Iranian people and live safely in the United States, while their families rule a brutal dictatorship in Iran.”
The petitions were created on Jan. 11 and 12 by “Iran Etehad” and have already collected tens of thousands of signatures.
The White House did not respond to a Post request for comment on whether the administration might try to boot the relatives.
