These questions are addressed by two Israel based experts (Meir Javedanfar and Efraim Inbar from Bar Ilan University) after the screening of the movie “Iranium” at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center
in Jerusalem.

Stirring Up Antisemitism in Iran
On December 14 2005, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad became the first senior Iranian politician to deny the Holocaust.
His government achieved another first recently, by officially allowing the propagation of the fake “Iranian holocaust” story. In this story, two Jewish saints ordered the massacre of more than 70,000 Iranians.
The propagation of such antisemitic narrative by the government is unprecedented in Iranian history.

Iran’s Next President?
The decision to elect and groom Iran’s next president belongs to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Ahmadinejad has nowhere near the authority of Khamenei.
However this is not stopping him from grooming his choice for next president of the Islamic Republic.

The Turkey vs Iran Flotilla Race
To some Iranians, the Turkish flotilla shouldn’t be interpreted as an attack on the Israeli siege of Gaza, but first and foremost as an assault against their influence in Gaza.
Iran’s efforts to send its own flotilla are testimony to that.
