        "content": "<p>Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has strongly denied a\nUnited States media report claiming that the Israeli intelligence\nagency, Mossad, once tried to recruit him. He also refuted reports\nsuggesting he is currently under house arrest. Ahmadinejad asserted that\nall these allegations are entirely fabricated. In an official statement\nreleased on Tuesday (14\/7\/2026), Ahmadinejad\u2019s presidential office\naccused The New York Times of publishing a false report. The report was\ndeemed to have been deliberately designed to mislead public opinion and\ndeepen political divisions within Iran. \u2018We categorically reject all the\ncompletely false allegations promoted by The New York Times,\u2019 the\nofficial statement read, as reported by the Palestine Chronicle.\nAhmadinejad\u2019s office also denied reports regarding his house arrest\nstatus. They described the accusation as another fabrication\ndeliberately created to reinforce the newspaper\u2019s \u2018ridiculous\u2019\nnarrative. The denial emerged after The New York Times published a\nreport on Monday claiming that Mossad had spent years trying to persuade\nAhmadinejad to cooperate with Israel. According to the newspaper,\nIsraeli intelligence viewed the former president as a potential future\nleader of Iran. The effort was claimed to be part of a broader strategy\nto encourage regime change, following the initial phase of military\ntensions between the US-Israel alliance and Iran.<\/p>",
