"with dual italian/iranian citizenship due to the ius sanguinis (iranian mother, italian father)"

How did she even get Iranian citizenship? Iranian law does not provide citizenship to children of Iranian mothers with foreign fathers even if they are born in Iran, and the Guardian Council has so far vetoed all attempts to change it[0].

Didn't know, thanks, i should ask if I am wrong about her father, though she has italian citizenship and she was born in Teheran, that was the reason for her being kicked out from the bank, that's what i know for sure.

Just to restate, i'm quite sure her mother is iranian and i thought her father is italian because in Italy ius sanguinis law is the rule, so one of the parents should be italian born to get the citizenship from birth, if i mixed up the nationality of both parents is me being dumb, so thanks for pointing that out.

Found this[0] though, is this retroactive?

It has been voted for by parliament (again) but not yet approved by the other authorities.
