This petition calls for urgent action regarding the U.S. residency status of Zhila Sadeghi, due to her reported affiliation with the Islamic Republic of Iran’s state broadcaster (IRIB) and concerns surrounding the promotion of anti-American rhetoric.

IRIB is widely recognized as a state-controlled media organization that promotes the official narratives and propaganda of the Iranian government. Individuals associated with such institutions play a role in amplifying messaging that may conflict with the values of democratic societies.

Publicly available media content and reports have raised concerns about messaging linked to such platforms, including the promotion of anti-American slogans such as “Death to America.” This type of rhetoric stands in direct opposition to the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and the core democratic values upheld in the United States.

Allowing individuals associated with foreign state propaganda networks to reside and operate freely within the United States raises serious concerns about transparency, accountability, and national integrity.

We call on U.S. authorities to:

Review affiliations with IRIB and similar state-controlled organizations

Assess any involvement in promoting hostile or anti-American messaging

Take appropriate legal action, including revocation of residency or citizenship, where violations of U.S. laws are identified

This petition seeks to uphold the values of accountability, transparency, and the rule of law, ensuring that those who benefit from living in a free society respect its principles.
