Why Did Ahmadinejad Quote Michael Jackson on His Birthday? Asking The Man in the Mirror to Change Himself
Independent Aggregator of Iran-related News/Events, Kodoom.com: On the anniversary of Michael Jackson's birth, former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, once again shocked media observers by quoting one of Jackson's songs in a mystic tweet: "I'm starting with the man in the mirror, I'm asking him to change his way!"
Observers and analysts believe Ahmadinejad is using Twitter to remain politically relevant. His provocative tweets seem to be indirect political jabs at his opponents including allies of Iranian Leader.
Ahmadinejad’s political downfall began in 2011 when he refused to support Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s reinstatement of the country’s intelligence chief. The former mayor of Tehran, who was once referred to as the protege of Khamenei, found himself enmeshed in a power struggle with the supreme leader and his conservative clerical allies until he left office in 2013. Since then, several of Ahmadinejad's Vice Presidents and close allies have been imprisoned on corruption charges.
