Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad survived an assassination attempt after regime insiders were involved in sabotaging his vehicle, according to a report by "Iran International," affiliated with Iranian exiles.
According to the report, sourced from within the regime, the former president's vehicle lost control after sabotage that likely included remote control of the vehicle. The vehicle crashed into several guardrails, overturned, and all its passengers were injured.
However, the president was removed from the vehicle a few hours before the incident and transferred to a security force vehicle accompanying him, after the vehicle's air conditioner broke down. The news site claimed that the vehicle was handed over to the presidential security unit for repairs, but instead of being taken to the unit's usual garage, it was taken to an unknown location.
The news site blames the Irainian regime and the Revolutionary Guards for the alleged assassination attempt, noting that Ahmadinejad was disqualified from running in the last presidential elections in the country. The former president has expressed criticism of the regime in recent years and has clashed with several senior officials in the government.
Despite his extreme positions against Israel and the United States and his combative stance against the West, Ahmadinejad has always been considered an outsider to the regime's inner circle and not a true insider of the Islamic Revolution.
