Emory University has dismissed Fatemeh Ardeshir Larijani, the daughter of a senior Iranian security official recently sanctioned by the United States, following public pressure and protests. The university confirmed her departure but did not specify whether the sanctions against her father, Ali Larijani, influenced the decision. Ali Larijani, accused by the United States of coordinating Iran's crackdown on protests, has a history of controversial statements and actions against Israel and has held multiple high-ranking positions in Iran. Fatemeh Ardeshir Larijani's biography was removed from Emory's website after her dismissal, which came amid calls from politicians and demonstrators for her removal.
