24 DAILY NEWS – A recent report by The New York Times reveals that the U.S. and Israel planned to support former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s return to power in Iran, challenging narratives that the ongoing conflict is about promoting democratic ideals in the country.
Despite assertions from high-ranking officials, including President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the motivations behind the Iran war appear to be less about freedom and more about destabilizing the nation. Ahmadinejad’s past actions during the 2009 Green Movement, when he dismissed widespread protests against election fraud, underscore his unlikelihood as a champion for Iranian democracy.
Ahmadinejad, a populist figure, faced significant opposition even from factions within Iran’s regime. His earlier dismissal of protests as merely emotional responses reflects a lack of support for his leadership among military and militia groups, which remain loyal to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
