The interview was from CNN Turk, on June 13, 2021, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkNbzo2wTZs. This is old news. Given Iran's rampant antisemitism and state sponsored paranoia about Israel and the West, I am taking what Ahmadinejad said skeptically.
Since his term as Iran's President expired, he has tried repeatedly to run again and has had his run denied by the Guardian Council. A year before this interview, the head of Iran's nuclear program was assassinated, and whoever did it got away with it. Calling a head of an Iranian intelligence unit an Israeli agent would be one of the worst insults possible. Ahmadinejad's rivals would remember that before the head of Iran's nuclear program was killed in 2020, during his time as President of Iran, six nuclear scientists were assassinated and only once was a perpetrator caught.
To me it sounds like there is a lot of finger-pointing, political name-calling, and long standing bad blood going in in Iranian politics.
Also, if there is any real truth to this, it is funny as hell.
It’s an oldy but goody, even if not entirely true.
