"went into a coma since Saturday's strikes - The Times of Israel"

Tehran, March 3

The wife of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has died after her husband was killed in joint US-Israeli strikes, according to Iranian state television, as quoted by The Hill.

Press TV said that Khamenei's wife was injured in the US-Israeli attack and later died from those injuries.

The Times of Israel noted that Mansoureh Khojasteh (78), went into a coma since Saturday's strikes, adding that they married in 1964.

This comes amid escalating tensions in West Asia following February 28 US-Israel joint military strikes on Iran that led to the death of the country's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and his family on Sunday.

Iran retaliated by launching ballistic missiles and drones at US assets and allies across the region, including Israel, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan, further widening the conflict in the Middle East and heightening risks for civilians and expatriates alike.

Very worrying news for regional stability. So many Indians work in the Gulf countries mentioned. I hope our government has strong evacuation plans ready if this spirals further. Safety of our citizens abroad is paramount.

A direct strike on a Supreme Leader is unprecedented. This isn't just an attack on Iran, it's a message to every nation that challenges US-Israel. The retaliation was expected, but where does it end? Oil prices will skyrocket, affecting all of us.

Respectfully, while the loss of life is sad, we must also consider the context of the regime's actions over decades. However, targeting family members is never justified and blurs the lines of conflict. A very dangerous precedent has been set.

Married for 60 years... and to die like this. Politics aside, that's a human story of immense loss. The region is a tinderbox now. India's diplomatic corps has their work cut out to protect our interests and our people. 🙏

This is exactly why India's policy of strategic autonomy is so crucial. We cannot afford to be pulled into these forever wars. Our focus must remain on development and securing our own borders, not getting entangled in West Asia's conflicts.
