US university dismisses daughter of Iran’s Supreme NSC secretary

Emory University in the United States has dismissed the daughter of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary, Ali Larijani, from her position.

According to foreign media reports, Fatemeh Ardeshir Larijani, daughter of Ali Larijani, had been employed at Emory University’s School of Medicine.

The reports state that Fatemeh Ardeshir Larijani was serving as an assistant professor, teaching haematology and medical oncology at the university.

Emory University’s Winship Cancer Institute has confirmed that she is no longer employed by the institution, but declined to provide further details.

It is noteworthy that a few days earlier, US Congressman Earl Carter had written a letter to the university administration, calling for Fatemeh Larijani’s dismissal and the revocation of her medical licence.
