He is currently a member of the Expediency Discernment Council.

He was known for his hardline views and nuclearisation of Iran.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was born on 28 October 1956 near Garmsar, in the village of Aradan, in Semnan province.

His mother, Khanom, was a Sayyida, an honorific title given to those believed to be direct bloodline descendants of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

His father, Ahmad, was a Persian grocer and barber, and was a religious Shia Muslim who taught the Quran.

When Mahmoud was one year old, his family moved to Tehran.

1960

Mahmoud's father changed their family name from "Saborjhian" or "Sabaghian" to Ahmadinejad in 1960 to avoid discrimination when the family moved to the city.

Sabor is Persian for thread painter, a once common occupation within the Semnan carpet industry.

Ahmadinejad's uncle and his brother Davoud Ahmadinejad have confirmed that the previous surname was "Sabbaghian".

Ahmadinejad is a composite name: Ahmadi Nejad.

Ahmad was his father's name.

The suffix Nejad in Persian means race, therefore the term Ahmadi Nejad means "the lineage of Ahmad".
