Report: US and Israel Planned to Make Ahmadinejad Iran's Leader

A report from The New York Times claims that during a past conflict, the United States and Israel considered reinstating former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as Iran's leader. The plan, which was not carried out, aimed at regime change in Iran.

Ahmadinejad, who was Iran's president from 2005 to 2013, is known for his hardline stance against the West. The revelation comes as tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran remain high, with President Trump reportedly pressuring Iran and Iran vowing retaliation. Turkish President Erdogan also spoke with Trump, suggesting that issues with Iran could be resolved.
