Hey @SecRubio. Now is the time for the US to send water bottles to Tehran.

"Tehran — the richest city of Iran, the most politically powerful city with more than 15,000,000 in the metropolitan — is facing day zero in a few days or a few weeks,"

As @marcorubio said: “Our problem is not with the Iranian people. They are a peaceful people with a proud civilization.”

Trump Ban now blocks Iranian students — the very future-builders who could contribute to U.S. innovation and lasting global peace. The potential that would otherwise be lost if they are robbed of the right to education.

Scholars like Maryam Mirzakhani & Firouz Naderi proved this. @realDonaldTrump Please distinguish the regime from its people. @StateDept

The reinstated U.S. travel ban is preventing students from countries like Iran—many already admitted to top universities—from starting their studies.

No one should lose academic and career opportunities because of where they were born.

#EducationWithoutBorders

[Dan Vahdat @danvahdat]

Thousands of top students from universities like @SharifUni got admission to leading U.S. programs. A dream for any students!

But due to the new #TravelBan, many can’t pursue the futures they worked so hard for… the dream of doing research in the greatest country in the world.

As someone whose PhD at Johns Hopkins led to building one of the world’s largest health tech companies (@HumaForHealth) know what’s possible when the U.S. opens its doors to talent.

Many of these students will build billion-dollar companies or win @NobelPrize

I’d be grateful if President Trump @realDonaldTrump would reconsider the ban. Education builds America… and lifts the world. We can make America Great Again together. 🇺🇸

As the daughter of Iranian immigrants, I saw firsthand how Trump’s cruel and xenophobic 2017 travel bans hurt families like mine.

That's why I led over 30 of my colleagues in standing up to President Trump in opposition to the potential reinstatement of his travel ban.

[Sina @ceena121]

.@yassaminansari many Iranian researchers with USCIS-approved National Interest Waivers (EB2-NIW) fear the new travel ban could block them from contributing to the U.S. Please stand for fairness and keep the doors open to talent. #LetIranianScholarsIn @marcorubio

[Yassamin Ansari @yassaminansari]

My grandma did end up dying without ever seeing her sister again.

And now Trump is working to bring back an even worse version of the travel ban that will impact American citizens from 43 countries. Disgusting.

[moregan @drmoregan]

@elonmusk Dear Elon, we believe that you still oppose unfair blanket entry bans. Again, Iranian students, researchers, scientists and families will face a new ban on F, J, EB and family visas. Hope that every individual be judged based on the eligibility not the nationality.

[Sina @ceena121]

@elonmusk, you’ve said the US benefits from Iranians. This ban is destroying lives, dreams, and years of hard work. Please help us fight for fairness! #FairVisasForIranians

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The blanket entry ban on citizens from certain primarily Muslim countries is not the best way to address the country’s challenges

[Sina @ceena121]

@elonmusk, in 2017, you opposed unfair travel bans. Now, innocent Iranians—students, researchers, scientists, and families—face a new ban on F, J, EB, and family visas. They’ve done nothing wrong and love the US. This isn’t fairness. Can you help raise awareness? #LetIraniansIn

[SHR @Sahar66664]

@elonmusk "... we will need to withdraw our offer."
This is a familiar story for many Iranian students waiting for their US visas. Many positions are at risk as we approach spring semester. This is our life, future, time and money at stake! We urge you to expedite this prolonged process!

[مامان LV @ssafari28110]

Dear @realDonaldTrump, @marcorubio, @elonmusk, Iranians with exceptional talent, recognized by USCIS, as well as families and students, face unnecessary delays and uncertainty. We are ready to contribute to U.S. national interests in science, technology, and education.

[moregan @drmoregan]

Dear @realDonaldTrump , your inauguration speech gave hope to Iranians. Many visa applicants with exceptional abilities in EB and student categories face prolonged AP. Hope talented individuals be judged based on their qualifications, not nationality.

[Curtis Morrison @curtismorrison]

@elonmusk Many talented Iranians came on H1bs, but even more came on family based, employment based, and even diversity lottery visas. Do you have thoughts about what Iranians will all face in the new administration?

[Sina @ceena121]

@elonmusk @kirillzzy It’s great the new administration supports talented immigrants, but Iranian scientists on EB1 & EB2-NIW fear travel bans returning. After years of waiting post-USCIS approval, they lose valuable time for research. How can we ensure they’re not left behind? Is there a solution?

[kooshiar @kooshiar]

@elonmusk @farzyness Many skilled, legal Iranian immigrants are worried about their future in the U.S.

Can you offer them words of reassurance? 🙏🙏

[Sina @ceena121]

Thank you for acknowledging Iranian talents! Many skilled Iranians in science and tech are facing long delays with the NIW visa process, hindering their contributions to U.S. innovation. Your support in highlighting these processing timelines would be invaluable.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@farzyness America has benefited from an influx of very talented Iranians
