Like Fordow, Khamenei's Wife is No Longer
Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh, widow of the late Iranian Supreme Leader, has reportedly died from wounds sustained in the Feb 28 airstrike. Her death follows the confirmed loss of several Khamenei family members.
Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh, the wife of Iran's deceased Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has reportedly died from wounds sustained in the February 28 airstrike that claimed her husband's life.
According to Iranian state media outlets, Khojasteh passed away earlier today after battling severe injuries from the targeted attack on their residence.
The announcement has been widely shared on social media, with pro-Iranian accounts mourning her loss as a symbol of the regime's resilience.This comes on the heels of confirmed reports that several other Khamenei family members perished in the same strike, including a daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, and a grandchild.
The airstrike, part of a joint US-Israeli operation dubbed "Operation Epic Fury," has intensified regional tensions, prompting Iranian retaliatory missile and drone attacks across the Gulf and beyond.Khojasteh, often referred to simply as Mansoureh Khojasteh, lived a low-profile life, rarely appearing in public.
Biographical details describe her as Khamenei's lifelong partner, married since the early days of the Islamic Revolution.
Her death marks another personal blow to the Khamenei legacy.
As the conflict enters its fourth day, with US President Donald Trump vowing continued strikes until Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities are dismantled, the international community watches closely for signs of de-escalation.
No official statements from US or Israeli officials have addressed Khojasteh's death specifically.
