What is the news?
Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has also been killed in air strikes by Israel. It is being told that many close advisors of Ahmadinejad and bodyguards deployed in security were also killed in this attack. According to local media reports, the bodyguards deployed to protect Ahmadinejad were soldiers of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). However, his death has not been confirmed yet by Iran.
When was the attack carried out?
According to reports, the attack was carried out on Saturday in Tehran on the building where Ahmadinejad was present with his security team. All of them died in the attack. It is important to mention that Ahmadinejad’s residence is located in Narmak district, north-eastern area of Tehran. Some videos have gone viral on social media in which Ahmadinejad’s destroyed residence is shown. According to reports, two students were also killed in the air strikes.
Who was Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?
Ahmadinejad was born on October 28, 1956 in the village of Ardan, near Garmsar in Semnan province. He was a prominent politician of Iran and served as the country’s sixth President from 2005 to 2013. Ahmadinejad became a symbol of strengthening Iran’s nuclear program. His most talked about statement at the international level was ‘Israel should be wiped off the map’, which he gave in 2005. Israel considered him a big enemy.
Israel also destroyed two Iranian fighter planes
Israel has also shot down 2 fighter planes at Tabriz airport. These aircraft belonged to Iran’s old F-5 and F-4 models and were standing ready to take off. Israel completely destroyed both the aircraft by attacking them accurately. The Israeli military said that the attack was carried out to weaken the activities of Iran’s air force and further break Iran’s air defense system.
What are F-5 and F-4 aircraft?
F-5 and F-4 aircraft are very old fighter aircraft of Iran, which were purchased from America in the 1970-80s. Iran has very few of them left. They are considered weak in modern air combat. Yet Israel destroyed them before they could take off, so that Iran could not use them against Israel. This attack is another part of the ongoing tension between Israel and Iran.
