Local groups supporting former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gathered in Tehran earlier this month, with critics and a former advisor alleging he is preparing for the collapse of President Pezeshkian's government, viewing the 2025 political landscape as analogous to the Soviet Union in 1991. The report, citing sources close to the former president, suggests that Ahmadinejad's supporters are quietly organizing. These gatherings, described as low-key, indicate a strategic positioning for a potential political comeback. While details of the specific plans remain undisclosed, the comparison to the Soviet Union's dissolution in 1991 implies an anticipation of significant political upheaval and a potential power vacuum within Iran.
