According to Iranian reports, former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was killed together with his bodyguard during an Israeli airstrike on the country, while under house arrest.

Serving as Iran's sixth president between 2005 and 2013, Ahmadinejad is remembered as one of the Islamic Republic's most extreme and antisemitic voices. He was open about his aspiration to destroy Israel.

In 2009, his controversial reelection set off the largest protests in post-revolution Iran's history until that point. The regime under his lead responded with a bloodbath, killing dozens and sending hundreds to prison.

ABSOLUTELY - he was a leader in the 1978 US Embassy seizure.

Looks like Tel Aviv is paying a hell of a price. Practically no defense at all. Also, US urgently telling all US people to get out of the mideast now, but won't evac them. IOWs we abandoned them.

I heard about this. Getting rid of After-Dinner-Jihad was a good move.

According to Iranian reports, former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was killed together with his bodyguard during an Israeli airstrike on the country, while under house arrest.

So, he was under house arrest. That implies that he had fallen from grace, was no longer in the "line of succession," and in no way still exercised power. So his death in no way weakened the present Iranian regime.

Thus, while his death gives me some moral satisfaction - it does not contribute to the toppling of the current Iranian regime.

Regards,

For me, it’s not just about toppling the current regime, this is payback for hundreds/thousands of lost servicemen; anyone who played a part is deserving. Satisfaction will be an Iran that is no longer stuck in the 8th century
