Iranian official’s daughter loses US university position

The daughter of senior Iranian official Ali Larijani, Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani, was dismissed from her teaching position at Emory University following protests against her employment. This decision came after a demonstration by Iranian-Americans who opposed her role, coinciding with heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran amid ongoing protests in Iran. Ardeshir-Larijani’s father has faced U.S. sanctions for his involvement in suppressing dissent in Iran. The situation has raised questions about her residency status in the U.S. amid calls for accountability.
