The Mastermind of the latest Mahdi Movement
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the son of a blacksmith.
He’s smart. With a PHD in engineering. He’s also ruthless.
In the late 1970s, he graduated as one of the top students from Iran’s version of MIT. He joined the Revolutionary Guard.
During the Iran-Iraq war, Ahmadinejad trained 12-year-old boys to march into mine fields, sacrificing their own lives, to make way for the Iranian army.
After his election, he said in his speech, “Thanks to the blood of the martyrs, a new Islamic revolution is arisen…” He’s doing everything possible to make sure he’s right.
Take Iraq.
The Iran-Iraq war was one of the bloodiest battles of the 20th century. Iraq was run by Sunni Muslims then. Now it’s run by Shiites. And Iran, also nearly 91% Shiite, is sending electricity to Iraq. It’s sending wheat. It’s sending $1 billion in foreign aid.
Ahmadinejad knows what he’s doing.
Iran just offered to pay for three pipelines running across Shia territory in Iraq. Iran has offered to open its ports, so war-torn Iraq can use them for shipping. And every day, Iraq will ship 150,000 barrels of light crude direct to Iran, for refining. Remember, Iran also funds Hezbollah in Lebanon. And it’s busily buying influence in Syria.
Don’t look now, but…
