During the crackdown on universities in 1980, Ahmadinejad and the OSU
played a critical role in purging dissident lecturers and students
many of whom were arrested and later executed.
Universities remained closed for three years and Ahmadinejad
joined the Revolutionary Guards.

In the early 1980s, Ahmadinejad worked in the "Internal Security"
department of the IRGC and earned notoriety as a ruthless interrogator and torturer.

Ahmadinejad worked for some time as an executioner in the notorious Evin Prison,
where thousands of political prisoners were executed in the bloody purges of the 1980s.

In 1986, Ahmadinejad became a senior officer in the Special Brigade of the
Revolutionary Guards and was stationed in Ramazan Garrison near Kermanshah
in western Iran. Ramazan Garrison was the headquarters of the Revolutionary
Guards' "extra-territorial operations", a euphemism for terrorist attacks beyond Iran's borders.

In Kermanshah, Ahmadinejad became involved in the clerical regime's terrorist operations abroad
and led many "extra-territorial operations of the IRGC". With the formation of the elite Qods (Jerusalem)
Force of the IRGC, Ahmadinejad became one of its senior commanders. He was the mastermind
of a series of assassinations in the Middle East and Europe, including the assassination of Iranian
Kurdish leader Abdorrahman Qassemlou, who was shot dead by senior officers of the Revolutionary
Guards in a Vienna flat in July 1989. Ahmadinejad was a key planner of the attack, according to
sources in the Revolutionary Guards.
