Neither stateless nor limbo. He is iranian.
- ricardobeat 3y agoHe was born on US soil, never lived in Iran, and doesn’t seem to have Iranian citizenship. What makes him Iranian according to the article?
- vidarh 3y agoIranian law makes every child of an Iranian man an Iranian citizen irrespective of where he was born, so technically he probably is an Iranian citizen by birth. This isn't uncommon - e.g. my son is a Norwegian citizen as well as British because he was born in the UK but I'm Norwegian. That said, I think it'd be immensely cruel not to recognize him as a US citizen, and he may well be right it might be unsafe for him to claim Iranian citizenship.
