What did Mahdi tell Stevi about leaving his country on 90 Day Fiancé season 11 episode 2?

Mahdi then took to a 90 Day Fiancé confessional to say that he was happy to be with Stevi in the US, but the moment he saw his parents crying at the airport when they came to drop him, he questioned his decision. He further stated that he didn't know when or where he would see his family next. He wept as he added:
"What I have heard, is that there is always a risk for the Iranians to come to the US to go back to Iran to get arrested."
