MEMORANDUM **

Vahid Hakimi Javid, a native and citizen of Iran, petitions for review of his final order of removal. The Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) affirmed the decision of an Immigration Judge (“IJ”) denying asylum and withholding of removal because Javid had not demonstrated past persecution or a fear of future persecution on a protected ground. We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C.
