[IsraelTimes] Following US sanctions on her father Ali Larijani, senior adviser to Khamenei, Atlanta’s Emory University says Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani is no longer employed by the school

The daughter of a top Iranian official has been dismissed from employment at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, following US sanctions on her father in the wake of the Iranian regime’s brutal crackdown on protesters, according to the university’s newspaper Saturday.

Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani is the daughter of Ali Larijani, senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...>
, and has served as assistant professor at Emory’s medical school, teaching hematology and medical oncology at the prestigious southern US university.

"A physician who is the daughter of a senior Iranian government official is no longer an employee of Emory," said the university’s Winship Cancer Institute, following requests for comment from media.

"Because this is a personnel matter, we are unable to provide additional information," Emory added.

Ardeshir-Larijani’s dismissal from Emory came some two weeks after sanctions were placed on her father by the US Treasury Department, in response to his alleged role criminal masterminding the regime’s crackdown on protests that rocked the country this month.

In announcement of the sanctions earlier this month, the treasury said that Ali Larijani "is responsible for coordinating the response to the protests on behalf of the Supreme Leader of Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and has publicly called for Iranian security forces to use force to repress peaceful protesters."

While Emory did not specify why exactly Ardeshir-Larijani was removed from employment, the school said: "Our employees are hired in full compliance with state and federal laws and other applicable requirements."

After learning of her employment at the school, Rep. Buddy Carter, who represents Georgia in Congress, called on Emory to dismiss her and the state’s medical board to revoke her medical license.

"Her father, Ali Larijani, is a bigwig of the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran who openly calls for violence against Americans," Carter said on X.

"Her ties to the largest state sponsor of terrorism are unacceptable and serve only to erode patient safety, public trust, and national security," he added, demanding her "removal and the revocation" of her ability to practice medicine in the state.

After Carter’s letter, demonstrators gathered outside Emory’s Winship Cancer Institute, demanding that the school follow through on calls to dismiss Ardeshir-Larijani over her father’s role in the Iranian crackdown on the anti-regime protests this past month.

A former member of the Revolutionary Guards, Larijani held the top security position from 2005 to 2007 and was parliamentary speaker from 2008 to 2020. In August Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian appointed Larijani as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council.
