Former Iraqi PM: Martyred Leader Was An Exceptional Scholar
Speaking about his meetings with the Leader, Abdul-Mahdi said every meeting was an opportunity to learn, describing the leader as a teacher whose expertise extended across religious, political and cultural fields.
"Whenever you left a meeting with him, you had gained something you did not have before," he said.
The former Iraqi premier added that he was struck by the Leader's close attention to details and his habit of asking thoughtful questions aimed at gaining a deeper understanding of issues rather than merely expressing opinions.
Abdul-Mahdi said the Leader sought to understand matters as comprehensively as possible, reflecting his extensive knowledge and intellectual curiosity.
He also dismissed claims often promoted by Western media that Ayatollah Khamenei forced his ideas or attitudes on others, saying his personal experience showed the opposite.
