Iranian authorities announced on Wednesday that former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had been killed in a missile strike carried out by Israel and the United States.
According to Iranian reports, Ahmadinejad was killed alongside his bodyguards during an attack allegedly launched by Israel in coordination with the United States. No independent confirmation of the incident has yet been provided.
Iranian officials did not immediately release further details regarding the location or timing of the strike, while neither Washington nor Tel Aviv issued an official response to the accusations.
Ahmadinejad served as president of Iran from 2005 to 2013 and was closely associated with the country’s nuclear programme during his time in office, a period marked by heightened tensions between Tehran and Western powers.
The reported killing comes amid escalating regional confrontation and growing fears of wider military escalation in the Middle East.
