Do United States green card holders need a visa to re-enter the US from Iran?

No, the restrictions are for VWP nationals visiting visa-free.

Firstly Iranians aren’t VWP nationals (they require a visa even to change planes in the US) and secondly a permanent resident only needs their green card (even a passport is not required)

The proposed change doesn’t affect you or your wife, and she won’t need a visa.

The Visa Waiver Program allows citizens of certain countries to visit the US without getting a visa or any other form of authorization. It isn’t what your wife has been using; she can enter the US any time, because she already has a different form of authorization: a green card, which avoids any need for a visa. The VWP is unrelated to permanent residency, and I haven’t heard of any proposed changes to the permanent resident program.

Anyway, Iran is not one of the countries included in the VWP, which is another reason why your wife hasn’t been using it up until now, and why any changes to it wouldn’t affect her.
