A 61-year-old doctor who was born in the US has been stripped of his citizenship - all because of his late father's status as an Iranian diplomat at the time of his birth. Siavash Sobhani became stateless when he tried to renew his passport in June this year - with officials telling him that he never should have been granted American citizenship in 1960, according to the The State Department informed him that babies born in the US to parents with diplomatic immunity - which his father enjoyed as an Iranian Embassy employee at the time - shouldn't automatically acquire citizenship.
