John Kerry's Family Tie to Iran-Daughter Married to Iranian-American
traditional New Year (Nowruz) holiday last week, Secretary of State John Kerry
exposed a secret that journalists and academics have been agonizing over for
the past six weeks: the fact that his daughter has married an Iranian-American
who has extensive family ties to Iran.
Iranian-Americans in my own family, and grateful for how they have enriched my
life,” Kerry said in the official statement. Kerry also said he was “strongly
committed to resolving” the differences between the United States and the
Islamic Republic of Iran, “to the mutual benefit of both of our people.”
their families off-limits to the press, a decorum enforced vigorously when it
comes to politicians who are in favor with the national media but ruthlessly
discarded for others. But in Kerry’s case, there could be larger ramifications.
FBI has vetted U.S. government officials involved in national security issues,
and it generally won’t grant clearances to individuals who are married to
nationals of an enemy nation or have family members living in that country, for
fear of divided loyalties or, more simply, blackmail.
Vanessa Kerry Nahed are both resident physicians at Mass General in Boston.
February, just as Kerry was up for confirmation hearings before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee. Dr. Nahed’s parents live in Los Angeles,
but he has relatives still in Iran. The Iranian website reported that shortly
after their marriage, the young couple visited those relatives in Iran.
itself a subtle form of blackmail, aimed at letting Kerry know that the regime
is fully aware of his son-in-law’s extended family in Iran? The Islamic
Republic systematically puts pressure on family members of prominent
Iranian-Americans (for example, individuals who work at the Persian service of
Voice of America), to make sure that they do not engage in hostile statements
or activities against the Tehran regime.
long favored a U.S. rapprochement with the Islamic Republic. He has repeatedly
appeared with groups such as the American Iranian Council (AIC), and has taken
money from Iranian-Americans for his political campaigns, including at least one
illegal donation from an Iranian woman who did not have a green
card. So he didn’t need to have an Iranian-American family member to believe
that the United States should forge direct relations with the Islamic Republic
or ease U.S. pressure on the regime.
by revealing the family tie himself he could diffuse the situation, and make it
more difficult for the regime to put pressure on his son-in-law’s family. Of course,
that’s assuming Kerry in fact plans to do anything that angers the regime.
