Tehran (HRNW)- Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has strongly rejected a New York Times report alleging that he was part of an Israeli Mossad-backed regime change plan in Iran.
According to media reports, Ahmadinejad also dismissed claims that he had been placed under house arrest, describing the allegations as completely baseless.
In a statement, Ahmadinejad’s office accused the American newspaper of publishing fabricated reports aimed at misleading the public and creating internal divisions within Iran.
The office further denied reports that the former president was under house arrest, calling the allegation a fabricated claim intended to support what it described as the newspaper’s “ridiculous” narrative. The statement said, “We categorically reject all of the completely false allegations made by the New York Times.”
The New York Times had reported that Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency allegedly attempted to persuade Ahmadinejad to cooperate with Israel in recent years and considered him a possible candidate to lead Iran. The report also claimed that the former Iranian president had been placed under house arrest.
