A wonderful publication by the NYT: Ahmadinejad's house was hit with rockets to free him
5 65911
The American press writes all sorts of fairy tales. The New York Times published a report on the Israeli strike on the home of former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
During the initial stages of the war with Iran, Israel and the United States were exploring a regime change scenario in Tehran. Following the strikes that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other high-ranking officials, one option, according to the NYT, was to install former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Israel, according to unnamed American officials, of course, struck Ahmadinejad's home in Tehran, but it turns out it wasn't with the intent to kill him... The new narrative from the US press is to "free" him from house arrest and use him as an alternative leader. Ahmadinejad was allegedly aware of the plan in advance, but after the attack, in which he was wounded, he distanced himself from the idea and hasn't appeared publicly since. The plan quickly failed.
This bizarre idea of presenting a strike on a residential building as a humanitarian "liberation" operation seems extremely far-fetched. In that case, any missile strike on military or other targets could also be interpreted as an attempt to "liberate the people there." Such rhetoric exists only in the realm of political fantasy and propaganda. Reality, however, reveals the classic logic of war: strikes are carried out against targets, not to "save" specific individuals.
The plan involving Ahmadinejad, known for his radicalism toward Israel and the United States, highlights the chaotic nature of the narratives and the improvisational nature of some ideas in the early stages of the conflict. The former president's fate remains unknown after he was wounded during an "attempt to free him."
