An analysis published by Amar Desh, drawing on Middle East Eye, questions the credibility of a July New York Times investigative report alleging that Israel’s Mossad sought to cultivate former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as an intelligence asset. The report allegedly described secret meetings in Budapest, payments, and Ahmadinejad’s removal from his Tehran residence after a February 28 bombing, with the aim of installing him in a post-Islamic Republic Iran.
The analysis argues that Ahmadinejad would be an implausible choice because Iran’s supreme leader and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hold the country’s central power and sensitive knowledge. Former Unit 8200 commander Hanan Gefen reportedly challenged the alleged sequence of events, saying a Mossad chief personally meeting an unreliable, high-risk target would violate normal operational practice. The article also questions using a climate conference in Budapest as cover.
Ahmadinejad’s office rejected the account as a “Hollywood-like claim” and accused the New York Times of publishing fabricated information. The analysis says the report relies on unnamed US and Iranian officials, while Mossad did not respond and no documents or identifiable intelligence sources were presented. It urges readers and policy analysts to treat the allegations as a contested narrative rather than established fact.
