Khamenei’s wife dies from injuries sustained in US, Israeli attack: State media

Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh died after a US-Israeli strike that killed Iran's Supreme Leader, amid escalating conflict with over 555 Iranians reported killed, officials said.

  • State media reported Monday that Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh, wife of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, died after succumbing to wounds from the US-Israeli strike on Tehran.
  • As part of wider exchanges, US and Israeli forces targeted missile sites and naval assets, with Iranian analysts describing it as a dramatic escalation last Saturday.
  • The 79-year-old had been hospitalised and in a coma since Saturday; Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh, largely out of public life, had six children.
  • Iranian officials pledged retaliation, with the Iranian president saying it is their "legitimate duty and right to avenge the perpetrators" while President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed to crush enemy bases, calling the leader's death a "declaration of war against the Muslims."
  • Global calls for de-escalation followed reports that Iran struck more than 130 cities and the Iranian Red Crescent Society confirmed at least 555 deaths amid rejected USS Abraham Lincoln attack claims by US Central Command.
