Ali Larijani is a member of Iran’s senior leadership, and a relentless enforcer of the crackdown on Iranian protesters that so far has led to the deaths of 36,500 and the wounding of 330,000. He rants against the Great Satan, America, and even more against the Little Satan, Israel. Two weeks ago, he insisted that the only protesters on the streets of Iranian cities were agents of Mossad. He also said that Trump was “responsible for the protests.”
Larijani has been called, by an Iranian defector, the mastermind of the massacre of protestors. More about Larijani can be found here: “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 comes from a powerful clerical family. His father, Mirza Hashem Amoli, was a well-known Shia Grand Ayatollah and a leading figure at the Qom Seminary before the Revolution. His eldest brother, Mohammad Javad Larijani, served as a senior diplomat and Deputy Foreign Minister, while his younger brother, Sadeq Larijani, is a seminary professor in Qom and a former Chief Justice of the Islamic Republic. Sadeq Larijani is frequently mentioned as a possible successor to Khamenei.
Ali Larijani was, of course, most pleased that his daughter, the spoiled child of the Islamic Republic’s sinister elite, obtained a teaching job at a medical school in the U.S. Iranian exiles have long bemoaned the fact that the children of their tormentors can go to school in the West, their tuition and living expenses paid for from money stolen by their fathers from Iran’s treasury, and then as post-graduates, even find employment in that same West. These are the jeunesse dorée of Iran’s nomenklatura. Now the daughter of that same Ali Larijani, one of the very worst of Iran’s non-clerical killers, has lost her teaching job at Emory Medical School. More on her well-deserved dismissal can be found here: “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,” 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 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.
All of those figures on deaths and wounded put out earlier have been surpassed by the latest numbers, accepted by Iran International, TIME journalists, and American analysts with contacts 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 simply an innocent who doesn’t deserve to be punished for the sins of her father? No. She — and he — and all the other members of the Iranian elite who torment and murder their enemies but make sure their own family members enjoy the freedom of studying, and even in teaching, in the West, are not innocent. We must bring home to that elite that their children will no longer be welcome in the West; their fathers can’t continue to murder tens of thousands of people in Iran and think that their children will be immune from any consequences.
Larijani’s daughter has been a most privileged child of the Iranian elite. Her father, once a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, was also the head of security for the regime, and now he is the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, and a central figure in the latest, most murderous, of crackdowns. His daughter might during the past month of savagery said something to distance herself from the regime. She could have joined one of the many demonstrations being held by Iranians in exile in America. She could have signed a letter against the regime. She did none of these things.
She’s been fired from Emory. Now it’s time to send Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani back to her country, where she will be welcomed by her murderous father and others of that same ilk. She has annoyed us long enough.
