Former Iranian minister praises Trump assassination fatwa as daughter lives in New York

In January, Emory University dismissed Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani, the daughter of Iranian official Ali Larijani, from a teaching position after protests over her employment at the university's medical school.

"I have one word only: I advise the representative of the United States to be polite," Iravani said during the meeting.

Fox News Digital contacted Iran's mission to the United Nations asking whether it could confirm the relationship. The mission declined to comment.

Fox News Digital also requested comment from the U.S. Mission to the United Nations regarding Mottaki's remarks and the broader implications of a former senior Iranian official appearing to endorse violence against the sitting U.S. president while his immediate family resides in New York. No response was received by the time of publication.
