Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad participated in the funeral procession of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Monday, according to an unverified report cited by an Israeli news channel. The report claims that Israel and the US had reportedly planned to install Ahmadinejad as head of government in Iran during the war, though this detail is not independently confirmed.
Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was seen taking part in the funeral procession of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Monday morning, according to a report cited by journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The same report claims, without citing a source, that Israel and the United States had previously planned to install Ahmadinejad as head of Iran's government during the course of the war. The claim is not independently verified and appears to be an unsubstantiated rumor. Ahmadinejad, who served as president from 2005 to 2013, has been largely sidelined from formal power in recent years, making his public appearance at the funeral noteworthy. The Zioneer has previously reported extensively on the funeral events, including the attendance of other dignitaries and the regime's security posture, but no prior reporting mentioned any plan to elevate Ahmadinejad.
