The "Tasnim" news agency reported that Hossein Hirandish, one of the proponents of "traditional medicine", was arrested with a complaint from a private prosecutor and the organization of the medical system.
According to this report, Hirandish deceived the students by promising to provide them with the opportunity to study for a doctorate in one of Armenia's prestigious universities and received money from them in dollars.
Iran International previously reported that in the 1890s, Hirandish spoke many times on radio programs about treating diseases, criticizing modern medicine and the need to return to traditional medicine.
Despite the issuance of the subpoena, he was still present in television programs and media interviews from 1400 to 1403.
Relying on his records in the "Islamic Republic Party and the title of brother to two martyrs", Hirandish entered various government institutions and assumed responsibilities in the field of health and lifestyle. He supported Said Jalili in the presidential election in 1,403.
He was also a member of the department specializing in health-oriented clothing of the Working Group of the Fashion and Clothing Organization, a subsidiary of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance.
Khirandish has previously said he beefed up Ali Khamenei.
