Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh, wife of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, has reportedly died after succumbing to injuries sustained during the recent strikes in Tehran. Iranian media says she had remained in a coma since the attack on Khamenei’s office.
Iranian state media outlet Press TV reports she was critically injured during Saturday’s attack and later succumbed to her injuries. The outlet described her as having been “martyred.” Khojasteh, who was 78 years old, had been married to Khamenei since 1964 and remained largely out of the public spotlight throughout his rule.
The same reports have also claimed the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the strikes. However, given the extraordinary nature of these claims, independent international confirmation remains limited, and official statements from multiple global sources are still being awaited.
No further verified details have yet been released regarding the specific circumstances surrounding the reported deaths. The situation remains highly sensitive and fluid, with global governments closely monitoring developments.
