According to a report by the New York Times, Israel and the United States initiated Operations Roaring Lion and Epic Fury with the objective of reinstating former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Ahmadinejad, who held office from 2005 to 2013, has been barred from future candidacies by Iran's unelected Guardian Council. The report indicates that US officials viewed him as capable of managing Iran's political and military challenges. Ahmadinejad's past is marked by his hardline anti-Israel and anti-American stance, including calls to 'wipe Israel off the map' and strong support for Iran's nuclear ambitions. The operations culminated in a strike on Ahmadinejad's home, which was intended as a jailbreak rather than an assassination. However, the plan failed after he sustained injuries during the attempt, and his current status remains unclear. Despite his contentious history with the US, Ahmadinejad has praised former President Donald Trump and expressed willingness to engage in economic talks with the US under a Trump presidency. The implications of these developments raise questions about the future of Iranian leadership and US-Iran relations.
