Javad Larijani was a PhD student in theoretical physics at Berkeley as far as I remember.
He founded the Institute for Fundamental Sciences, also known as the IPM.
It used to be two separate graduate schools dedicated to research in theoretical physics and mathematics.
Now it has more schools dedicated to neuroscience, cognitive science, biology, philosophy, chemistry, etc. They do serious research there. They even published a paper on neuroscience in Nature.
The Larijanis are highly educated. Bagher was an endocrinologist that was selected as the top Muslim scientist in medicine once. He was the Head of Tehran University of Medical Sciences for several years. Ali Larijani had a PhD in mathematics. He was an alumni of Sharif University and Tehran University. Sadegh was the only one that pursued Fiqh and Jurisdiction instead of a STEM major.
