Shaheed Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei
GUARDIAN of RESISTANCE
Scroll
In the Name of Allah
He served Allah, led a revolution, and returned to his Lord a martyr.
Sayyed Ali Khamenei was born in Mashhad in 1939 to a poor family of scholars. He was imprisoned and exiled under the Shah, served as president through eight years of war, and led the Islamic Republic for thirty-seven years. Among the leaders of the Muslim world, he stood almost alone in openly confronting the Zionist entity and American imperialism.
That stance cost him his life. He was martyred on February 28, 2026, in a joint airstrike by America and the Zionist entity on his office in Tehran. Millions mourned him, from Tehran to Najaf and Karbala, and delegations from more than one hundred countries stood before his coffin.

"Martyrdom is not the end of a story; it is the beginning of a new chapter."Ayatollah Khamenei
