Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Israel

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad served as president of Iran from 2005 to 2013 and repeatedly called for the elimination of Israel. Through October 6, 2023 the opening said he provided funding, training and arms to what are widely regarded as terrorist organisations Hezbollah and Hamas. Today the opening names only "Hezbollah and Hamas" with no terrorist designation, though terror survives three times in the body. A reader today learns Ahmadinejad armed Hezbollah and Hamas, and not that they are widely regarded as terrorist organizations.
