Three Iranian nationals were detained after Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked their residency over ties to figures linked to the 1979 US Embassy hostage crisis.

The US Department of State announced on Saturday that three Iranian nationals were arrested following the termination of their lawful permanent resident status by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

According to the statement, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are currently in the custody of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending removal proceedings.

The State Department said that Hashemi is the son of Masoumeh Ebtekar, who served as a spokeswoman for the Islamist militants who seized the US Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days.
