#3 Being stupid. He probably wanted to see the cousins before he was too old to do so, and assumed his American passport would protect him.

First fosterling went with her father to meet the Iranian cousins during summer vacation from college — in the midst of the protest marches during Ramadan. They’re Baha’i, which is at least as dangerous as being Jewish. They travelled on their Iranian passports, and the cousins took them to see the marches. Fortunately, nothing happened, because the kid was the kind of bright, self-righteous Progressive the Mullahcracy really does not appreciate properly.
