    Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's wife, Mansoureh
    Khojasteh Bagherzadeh, has died after reportedly succumbing to
    injuries sustained during US-Israeli strikes. Iran's state
    broadcaster Press TV said on Monday that she had "attained
    martyrdom" following the attack. Khamenei himself was killed
    in the strikes carried out by the United States and Israel on
    Saturday. Iranian state media reported that Khojasteh was
    wounded in the same series of strikes and later died from her
    injuries.

    Iranian state media reported that Ayatollah Khamenei was killed
    in the initial phase of the strikes, attacks that U.S. and
    Israeli officials said were directed at strategic military and
    security targets and their confirmation came hours after US
    President Donald Trump publicly announced the cleric's death
    as part of a wider effort aimed at effecting regime change.

    Following Khamenei's death, there were mixed reactions in Iran.
    While some citizens celebrated in the streets, others expressed
    deep sorrow, as evidenced by an emotional TV host breaking down
    while announcing his death. This contrast highlights the divided
    sentiments among the Iranian populace regarding Khamenei's
    leadership and legacy.

    Reports also said that several of Khamenei's relatives, including
    his daughter, his son-in-law, and his granddaughter, were killed
    in the same series of strikes. A member of the Tehran City
    Council, cited by Reuters through the Young Journalists Club,
    had earlier confirmed fatalities within the Supreme Leader's
    extended family after the attacks.
