In her letter, Masoumeh Ebtekar's daughter-in-law wrote that she loves America and considers it her home.

But she had previously preferred the religious flag of Hussein to the American flag in a video.

He preferred Hussein's religion to the American flag.

She had placed Hussein's flag as a symbol of resistance against
