The same operation, which U.S. officials have reportedly named “Operation Epic Fury,” also killed her husband, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei . She never regained consciousness and died on Monday, March 2.

Unlike her husband, who was the public face of Iran for nearly four decades, Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh lived a life away from the cameras. Born in Mashhad in 1947, she married Ali Khamenei in 1964 . Throughout his 37-year rule as Supreme Leader, she rarely appeared in public and did not hold any official political role. Those who knew her described her as a private figure who focused on her family and religious duties.
In a rare interview with state media years ago, she spoke about her role not as a political figure, but as a partner. She said her main job was to keep a calm home so her husband could carry out his work, especially during the difficult years before the 1979 revolution.
The news of her passing has been met with solemn announcements on Iranian television. The country, already in a period of national mourning for the Supreme Leader, now grieves for the matriarch of the first family. As the region remains on edge following the initial strikes and subsequent retaliatory fire, Iran has declared a period of national mourning following these events
