One of the replies to the OP in tweeter says "anyone who is legally an Iranian citizen". That basically covers all naturalized American citizens who emigrated to US from Iran.

Iran does not recognize changes in citizenship.

Iran does not recognize changes in citizenship.

The U.S. government doesn't care what Iran recognizes. The correct quotation would be "anyone who is legally an Iranian citizen in the eyes of the U.S. government."

When an Iranian citizen becomes a naturalized U.S. citizen, their Iranian citizenship is no longer valid in the U.S.

There is a limited number of nations that have dual citizenship agreements with the United States, and Iran isn't one of them.
