Repubblica.it: Ahmadinejad, che voleva cancellare Israele e che Trump e Netanyahu vorrebbero nuovo leader dell’Iran

Già sindaco di Teheran, è stato a capo della Repubblica dal 2005 al 2013, quando ha duramente represso l’“Onda verde”. Negava l’Olocausto e si presentava come uomo comune. Nel 2017 lodò il tycoon. Si è poi trasformato in un critico del governo, ai margini del sistema ma sempre popolare

Ahmadinejad, who wanted to erase Israel and that Trump and Netanyahu would like a new leader of Iran.

Previously mayor of Tehran, he headed the Republic from 2005 to 2013, when he harshly repressed the “Green Wave.” He denied the Holocaust and presented himself as an ordinary man. In 2017 he praised the tycoon. He then became a critic of the government, on the margins of the system but always popular.

MS NOW Hosts React with Laughter to Failed Trump Plan to Reinstate Ahmadinejad

On May 20, 2026, MS NOW hosts Joe Scarborough and John Heilemann reacted with amusement to a report about a failed plan by former President Donald Trump and Israeli officials to reinstall Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as Iran's leader. According to a New York Times report, the plan, which involved consulting Ahmadinejad, quickly fell apart when he was injured on the first day of the conflict by an Israeli strike. This left Ahmadinejad disillusioned with the initiative. During a segment on 'Morning Joe,' the Times' Elizabeth Buhmiller described Trump's position on Iran as problematic and highlighted how the aborted plan revealed a lack of preparation. Scarborough sarcastically commented on the absurdity of the situation, while Heilemann compared the scenario to a 'South Park' episode, underlining the bizarre and unplanned nature of the operation. The segment included humorous references to movies and dramatizations of U.S. intervention, underscoring how the plan's failure became a source of public ridicule.
