| Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani and her teeth |
An Iranian defector has called Larijani the mastermind behind the massacre of protesters. See more in "Ali Larijani Masterminded the Massacre says Former Official," IranWire, January 18, 2026:
According to a former Islamic Republic official, speaking to IranWire through a traveler, Ali Larijani, the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, has been at the center of the January 2026 crackdown. The source says Larijani is positioning himself for the post-Khamenei era, using his close ties with IRGC commanders and intelligence agencies, along with his family's connections to senior clerics, to build support across different factions and prepare to lead the system after Khamenei's death.
Larijani hails from a powerful clerical dynasty. His father, Mirza Hashem Amoli, was a prominent Shia Grand Ayatollah and a key figure at the Qom Seminary before the Revolution. His eldest brother, Mohammad Javad Larijani, served as a senior diplomat and Deputy Foreign Minister. His younger brother, Sadeq Larijani, is a seminary professor in Qom and a former Chief Justice of the Islamic Republic. Sadeq is often named as a potential successor to Khamenei.
Ali Larijani was naturally delighted when his daughter, the plump and pampered offspring of the regime's sinister elite, landed a teaching position at a U.S. medical school. Iranian exiles have long complained that the children of their oppressors study in the West, with tuition and living costs covered by funds their fathers stole from Iran's treasury. Then these same children secure jobs in the West as post-grads. They are the golden youth of Iran's nomenklatura. Now the daughter of this same Ali Larijani, one of Iran's worst non-clerical killers, has lost her teaching job at Emory Medical School. More details on her justified dismissal appear in "Daughter of top Iranian official who led regime crackdown fired from US medical school," Times of Israel, January 25, 2026:
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, 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," an Emory spokesperson 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 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 and has publicly called for Iranian security forces to use force to repress peaceful protesters."…
The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency on Saturday put the death toll at 5,137, with the number expected to increase. More than 27,700 people have been arrested, it said. Those earlier figures on deaths and wounded have been overtaken by the latest estimates, accepted by Iran International, TIME journalists, and American analysts with sources among medical personnel in Iran. They conclude that at least 36,500 protesters have been killed, and 330,000 wounded, by the IRGC, the Basij, and the police.
Was it wrong to fire Larijani’s daughter? Is she just an innocent who should not pay for her father's crimes? No. She, her father, and the rest of the Iranian elite who torture and murder their opponents while ensuring their own families enjoy Western freedoms for study and even teaching are not innocent. We need to drive home to that elite that their children are no longer welcome in the West. Their fathers cannot keep slaughtering tens of thousands in Iran and expect their kids to face zero consequences.

Larijani’s daughter has lived as one of the most privileged children of the Iranian elite. Her father, once in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and head of regime security, now serves as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council and a key architect of the latest murderous crackdown. In the past month of bloodshed she could have spoken out against the regime.
She could have joined exile demonstrations here in America. She could have signed a protest letter. She did none of those things.
She has been fired from Emory. Now it is time to send Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani back to her country, where her murderous father and his ilk will welcome her. She has overstayed her welcome here long enough.
