Faezeh Hashemi: Our Father’s Body Had 10 Times the Permissible Level of Radioactive Material

Faezeh Hashemi, daughter of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, announced that in a meeting attended by several members of the National Security Council, the Hashemi family was informed that her father’s body contained “10 times the permissible level of radioactive material”.

Ms. Hashemi stated on Saturday, December 25th, in an interview with Etemad Online website that in this meeting it was mentioned that the body of Effat Marashi, wife of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, contained “3 times” and in the body of Fatema Hashemi, his daughter, “one times the permissible level of radioactive material” was present.

According to Faezeh Hashemi, the National Security Council stated that it “has no information about the source of this radioactivity,” but that this was “not” the reason for the death of the former head of the Expediency Discernment Council.

She also stated that from the remarks of the National Security Council officials, “it appeared that the case was closed from their perspective.”

The daughter of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani did not disclose which members of Iran’s National Security Council were present in this meeting and when this meeting was held.

Faezeh Hashemi’s remarks came at a time when in similar cases, experts have not considered the presence of radioactive materials in the bodies of certain individuals as definitive evidence for their deaths.

For instance, regarding the death of Yasser Arafat, chairman of the Palestinian Authority, Swiss doctors announced that their tests indicated the presence of polonium in Arafat’s body, but they do not have definitive evidence to show that Arafat died as a result of this poisoning.

Iran’s National Security Council officials have not yet reacted to Ms. Hashemi’s statements.

Meanwhile, Etemad Online, citing a medical biotechnology specialist, wrote that even the presence of a particle of radioactive material in the human body “is not normal under ordinary circumstances,” unless “those undergoing treatment with radioactive materials or have been exposed to radiation.”

Ali Karmi described the deaths of Yasser Arafat and Hugo Chavez as resulting from poisoning through radioactive material and added that “there is an element called Polonium-210, which is considered a radioactive material, and its presence in people’s bodies is a sign of poisoning.”

Mr. Karmi, described in this report as “full professor at Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences and specialist in medical biotechnology,” noted that “one of the properties of the Polonium-210 element is that it remains in the sample for hundreds of years and its presence can be traced.”

Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, one of the founding figures of the Islamic Republic and one of Iran’s senior officials over the past four decades, passed away on January 10, 2017, at Tajrish Hospital in Tehran.

His sudden death sparked numerous rumors about the possibility of an assassination attempt against him. However, Mohammad Hashemi, brother of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, stated on March 11, 2017, that his brother was neither “assassinated” nor suffered “suffocation,” but the cause of his death was “cardiac arrest.”

Mohammad Hashemi, however, said on Saturday in an interview with Shahrvand newspaper that “the cause of death was announced in the hospital as cardiac arrest, but no one announced the cause of the cardiac arrest. No one has yet announced what caused the cardiac arrest.”

Fatema Hashemi, daughter of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, also said that “there was no heart problem or discomfort in my father and he was physically stronger than many of his children.” Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani was 82 years old when he died.

Fatema Hashemi also stated that after her father’s death, individuals went to his office at the Expediency Discernment Council and emptied the safe in which he kept “important matters.”

She also reported the disappearance of “the second will” of Mr. Hashemi.
