Ahmadinejad Assassinated Amidst Iranian Power Vacuum
According to Iranian media reports, former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was killed in recent Israeli and U.S. strikes, along with his bodyguards. Ahmadinejad, who served from 2005 to 2013, was a prominent figure in Iran’s nuclear program and known for his anti-Israel rhetoric and Holocaust denial. Despite leaving office in 2013, he remained popular with some Iranians and continued to be outspoken, even criticizing government corruption.
