Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad, allegedly recruited former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a covert operation aimed at undermining the Islamic Republic, according to a report citing U.S. and Iranian sources. The New York Times published the revelations, which suggest a significant clandestine effort by Israel to influence Iranian politics.

The report indicates that the recruitment was part of a broader strategy to destabilize the current Iranian government. Ahmadinejad, who served as president from 2005 to 2013, has remained a prominent figure in Iranian politics, though his relationship with the ruling establishment has been complex.

Details surrounding the alleged recruitment remain scarce, but the report suggests it was a high-stakes operation involving sensitive intelligence channels. The implications of such a revelation, if true, could have far-reaching consequences for regional security and international relations, particularly between Iran, Israel, and the United States.
