Newspaper Jomhouri-e Islami: are the US and Israel seeking to return Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to power?

What happened: The newspaper Jomhouri-ye Eslami claimed a long-term plan is being executed to change Iran’s power structure by sidelining current and former political figures and installing a specific person as head of government. The paper did not name Mahmoud Ahmadinejad directly but implicitly identified him as the intended candidate, and said the plotters have planned the move for years. The report said the stated aim is to preserve the formal appearance of governing institutions while changing their actual content, and asserted that recent political developments and the removal of some figures are part of the plan.
