Former Iranian President Ahmadinejad Killed

Iran's former president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was reportedly killed in an airstrike in Tehran on Sunday, according to the state news agency Iranian Labour News Agency. This event follows the reported death of Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, on Saturday. Ahmadinejad, who served from 2005 to 2013, was known for his controversial nuclear policies, which led to international sanctions and an economic crisis for Iran, and his anti-Semitic remarks. His presidency saw him rely heavily on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, granting them control over strategic economic sectors. His attempts to increase presidential powers led to a breach with Khamenei, and he was later barred from presidential elections by the Iran===Guardian Council. These deaths signal a major power vacuum and potential for significant political and economic shifts within Iran.
