He often referred to President Ahmadinejad as the world's "bite-size leader against king-size Western corruption.". Davoodi was nominated in 2009 as the Director of the Presidential Center for Strategic Studies by Iranian President Ahmadinejad.
Davoodi died in Tehran on 18 April 2024, at the age of 72.
