They will come from Mexico. Iranians look enough like Mexicans to get away with it
The US is sponsoring Job Fairs in Mexico that find butchers and farmworkers and such, then enlist Coyotes to smuggle them up, unempeded.....

“Today, Mexican workers are forced to pay bribes that hike what should be a $360 cost for visa and other legitimate fees to payoffs of $1,800 to $3,500 to corrupt police officials, job recruiters and ‘coyotes’ who carry the workers into the States.

“These are slave labor programs almost as bad as the Braceros Program that was ended in the 1960s,” Velasquez said. After being extorted for high fees and risking their lives to sneak across the border, they are denied the right to complain about working conditions, health care or their pay. “Anyone who speaks up is fired, deported and then blacklisted by the U.S. Customs Service from ever returning to the U.S.,” he added.
Edit to add:
Admittedly, the articles focus on American and Brit targets "over there". But it is not inconcievable to hit us at home.
