Israeli journalist Sapir Lipkin has published what he says is the first footage from Iran showing former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the day after a report that he was recruited by Israel to overthrow the regime. The footage's authenticity and location are not independently verified.
The footage, shared on Telegram by Sapir Lipkin, shows Ahmadinejad in what appears to be a domestic setting. Lipkin did not provide details on how the footage was obtained. The report that Ahmadinejad was recruited by Israel to overthrow the Iranian regime was first published by N12 journalist Asaf Rozentzweig in February, as The Zioneer previously reported. The Zioneer's prior coverage noted that Mossad agents had extracted Ahmadinejad after an Israeli strike on his compound on February 28. The new footage has not been independently verified, and its timing relative to those events remains unclear.
