More than four decades after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad participated in the infamous Iran hostage crisis, and after many years of orchestrating tyranny and terror, Israeli and U.S. forces sent him to meet his Master below.
Iranian media were actually the first to confirm that Ahmadinejad was a casualty of “Operation Epic Fury.” The former president of Iran had been under house arrest, as Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei — seemingly paranoid — accused Ahmadinejad of trying to overthrow him (treacherous jihadis often backstab each other). Now Khamenei and Ahmadinejad can reunite in Hell, as Israel and the U.S. eliminated both on Saturday.
The Jerusalem Post reported:
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who served as Iranian president from 2005 until 2013, was killed in an Israeli-US airstrike, the Iranian Labor News Agency reported on Sunday.
The strike hit Ahmadinejad's residence in Narnak, northeast Tehran, killing him and several bodyguards, the pro-regime outlet claimed.

Among Ahmadinejad’s other official roles over the years were mayor of Tehran and governor of the Ardabil province. Following his presidency, Ahmadinejad served — if that is the right word, considering what crimes he oversaw — on the Expediency Discernment Council, which advised the supreme leader. Now his long and heinous career has come to a sudden and fiery close.
The fact that Iranian media first admitted Ahmadinejad’s death is interesting because they delayed admitting the elimination of Ayatollah Khamenei until after both Israeli and American authorities had issued statements on his death. Perhaps because Khamenei and Ahmadinejad were at odds at the time of their respective deaths, Iranian media was less reluctant to acknowledge the death of the latter.
Americans have an old grudge against Ahmadinejad, and not just because he was a key part of the regime that oversaw global jihad, including against U.S. troops and allies. Iranian officials persistently denied that Ahmadinejad was involved in the infamous 1979 hostage crisis, but multiple victims later insisted he was one of their captors.

The 1979 takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran by militants who held 66 Americans hostage for more than 440 days was the crowning shame of the Carter administration, and only ended with Ronald Reagan‘s inauguration. The History Reader explains further:
During August 2005, American newspapers and television screens were unexpectedly filled with images of 1979. The scene of the U.S. embassy in Iran being taken over by radical students, effigies of Uncle Sam being burned, and angry mobs desecrating the American flag seemed the order of the day. The latest crisis in U.S.–Iranian relations was sparked by five former American hostages who identified the newly elected Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, as one of their captors.
So when the American-Israeli strike destroyed Ahmadinejad, it was just retribution that was more than four decades in coming. The cancer of the Iranian Islamic regime is being ended.
