Erfan Qaneii Fard, a prominent supporter of the Pahlavi movement, was taken into U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody and subsequently deported to Iran between October 1st, 2025, 10:36 PM UTC and October 2nd, 2025, 1:06 AM UTC. Fard is alleged to have entered the U.S. via Mexico, where he reportedly altered his public persona from a regime-affiliated figure to a monarchist, gaining acceptance within circles associated with Reza Pahlavi. The report, originating from X user kshahrooz, highlights Fard's alleged past association with Iranian regime figures, including a photograph with Mohsen Rezaei, identified as a former IRGC intelligence chief. This detail is presented as evidence of his prior ties to the Iranian government, contrasting with his later embrace of the Pahlavi movement. Türkiye's decision to freeze assets of Iranian entities, including the Atomic Energy Organization and several banks, on October 1st, 2025, aligns with U.S. sanctions and aims to pressure Iran's nuclear program. This action, announced by President Erdogan's directive, targets entities involved in uranium enrichment activities, as confirmed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's reimposition of snapback sanctions on 44 Iranian entities.
