Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — a polarizing hardliner who became the face of Tehran’s nuclear defiance and incendiary anti-Israel rhetoric — was reportedly killed in Israeli airstrikes during Saturday’s strikes inside Iran.

He was cuffed and eventually flown more than 2,000 miles from home to a camp facility at Fort Bliss Army base...
