(CNN) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Wednesday urged Middle East leaders to listen to the voices of citizens who have taken to the streets in masses to demand a change in government -- though such protests in his own country have been crushed with brute force.
Ahmadinejad "strongly recommended such leaders to let their peoples express their opinions," the Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
"He further urged those leaders of regional countries who respond to the demands of their nations and their revolutionary uprisings with hot bullets to join their peoples' movements instead of creating blood baths."

Not quite. What you have is contradiction and hypocrisy. It would be irony if after encouraging people to protest corrupt governments, he would then be toppled by public protests. Irony exists when there's a reversal, like a negative outcome out of positive actions/qualities.

It's only irony if there's a reversal.
