U.S. media breaks major scoop: The U.S. and Israel originally intended to support Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's rise to power, and the airstrike on his home was actually meant to rescue him
Unbelievable! The U.S. and Israel’s initially chosen successor in Iran turns out to be Ahmadinejad?
According to U.S. media revelations, prior to the war, the U.S. and Israel secretly contacted Iran’s former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. After obtaining his consent, they devised a plan targeting senior Iranian officials via airstrikes.
In fact, the strike on Ahmadinejad’s residence wasn’t intended to kill him, but rather to eliminate Revolutionary Guard members responsible for imprisoning and monitoring him. In other words, the U.S.-Israel airstrike on Ahmadinejad’s home was aimed at rescuing him—not killing him.
After narrowly escaping death, Ahmadinejad mysteriously vanished from public view, even leaving the U.S. and Israel clueless about his whereabouts. As a result, the original plan to install him in power fell through.
A source close to Ahmadinejad told U.S. media that Ahmadinejad never believed the airstrike was meant to assassinate him—because he genuinely used the opportunity to escape detention and surveillance by Iran’s current regime. However, it was precisely this airstrike that made Ahmadinejad lose faith in the U.S. and Israel’s subsequent plans to support him, leading him to ultimately go into hiding.
Regarding this claim, the international community generally views it as a deliberate attempt by the U.S. and Israel to sow discord within Iran. After all, Ahmadinejad is famously known as an anti-American and anti-Israeli hardliner—well-known as a "hawk" in Iran. Even the U.S. media expressed shock upon receiving the leak, repeatedly emphasizing that this choice was surprising.
Nonetheless, over the years, rumors have circulated widely suggesting Ahmadinejad is a U.S.-Israeli spy. He himself has publicly expressed admiration for Trump, praising his unique businessman mindset for enabling more efficient problem-solving and long-term vision—such an action-oriented approach, he argues, would benefit both the U.S. and Iran, and thus he advocates for reconciliation with America.
Last year, Ahmadinejad even visited Hungary, where Prime Minister Viktor Orbán—a close ally of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu—was in office, sparking further speculation and attention from the outside world.
But to suggest Ahmadinejad is colluding with the U.S. and Israel to help them invade his own country feels somewhat far-fetched.
