The development comes less than three days after the reported death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, marking an extraordinarily painful moment for the nation.
According to sources, Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh sustained injuries during the same military operation attributed to the United States. She later succumbed to those injuries, deepening the national mourning already underway.
Widely known for her reserved lifestyle, she was regarded as one of the most respected yet private figures in Iran. Unlike many political spouses, she rarely appeared in public or addressed the media, maintaining a quiet presence throughout her husband’s decades-long leadership.
Her passing compounds the grief across the country, with many describing the back-to-back losses as one of the most difficult periods in Iran’s modern history. Losing both a Supreme Leader and his wife within days has left the nation in shock and uncertainty.
