Ahmadinejad Killed in Alleged US-Israel Airstrike

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was reportedly killed in an alleged airstrike conducted by a joint US-Israel unit, targeting his residence in the Narmak district of northeast Tehran. According to reports from Iran's semi-official Iranian Labor News Agency, the strike occurred late Saturday and resulted in the deaths of Ahmadinejad and several members of his security detail.

Independent confirmation of the incident was not immediately available. This attack comes amid escalating hostilities between Iran and the United States, as well as Israel, following coordinated strikes on Iranian targets.

Ahmadinejad served as Iran's president from 2005 to 2013, a period marked by heightened tensions over Iran's nuclear program. He held several key positions, including governor of Ardabil province and mayor of Tehran, and was appointed by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to the Expediency Discernment Council, a body tasked with advising the Supreme Leader on resolving disputes within Iran's government institutions.

His death adds to the growing list of high-profile Iranian figures allegedly killed amid ongoing conflicts, further deepening uncertainty regarding the country's political future.
