Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s wife, Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh, has died after succumbing to injuries from US‑Israeli strikes on Saturday.
Bagherzadeh had been in a coma since the attack, which also killed Khamenei himself, along with several members of his family.
According to Iran’s state media, Press TV, she “attained martyrdom” following the incident. The 86-year-old Khamenei had led Iran as Supreme Leader since 1989, and the strikes have now claimed the lives of multiple members of his immediate family, deepening the crisis in the region.
