Watan-On a turbulent morning, Iranians — along with the rest of the world — awoke to a seismic headline: former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had been assassinated in Tehran by unidentified gunmen, in what was described as a “professional operation.”
Social media platforms exploded with viral posts. Headlines blazed:“Ahmadinejad assassinated with his family,” “Mossad strikes again,” “Security lockdown in Tehran.”
The rumors coincided with a dangerous escalation between Iran and Israel, including direct threats from Tel Aviv to strike deep inside Iranian territory.
But amid the surge of speculation, an official denial was issued: Ahmadinejad is alive, and no assassination attempt occurred.
So What Really Happened?
The false report triggered widespread confusion and a flood of questions:
-
Was it a test balloon to gauge public reaction?
-
A political trap?
-
Or part of a psychological warfare campaign designed to pave the way for major regional shifts?
As of now, only one fact stands uncontested: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not dead.
The first bullet may not have come from a gun, but from the battlefield of misinformation — leaving behind a thick cloud of disinformation and a trail of unanswered questions.
