“I don’t have to hide anymore…” – Iranian lady reacts to death of Ali Khamenei

An Iranian lady has gone viral after a video surfaced online showing her celebrating the death of their supreme leader, Ali Khamenei.
The event, which occurred during joint U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on February 28, 2026, has sparked widespread global attention.
Viral Video Sparks Reactions
The video, shared on X by @rosek01, captured the young woman speaking openly about the significance of Khamenei’s death.
In the clip, she expressed relief and joy, describing it as a moment she and many others had long awaited.
“A Lifetime of Fear and Hopes”
The woman revealed that she had spent her entire life hearing people wish for Khamenei’s death.
She described the Supreme Leader as a terrorist and claimed that his removal would bring freedom to Iran. She said:
“We are celebrating the death of Ali Khamenei. Since I was little, all I heard was, we hope that Ali Khamenei dies, he gets killed. I’m 20 years old now. Twenty years I’ve been hearing this. Only Donald Trump has done it. He is the best. And we’ve waited for this moment because Ali Khamenei is a terrorist running a terror group.”
Fear No More
She also spoke about the fear she felt in previous years, which forced her to hide her identity during interviews by covering her face with sunglasses.
According to her, the reported death of Khamenei has lifted this fear.
“I used to put sunglasses on my face to hide my face in interviews because I don’t want to get killed when I visit Iran. But now I rest assured that Iran will be free, is now going to be free, and that I don’t have to cover my face anymore. I’m safe. God bless Donald Trump and God bless America for doing this and Israel too,” she added.
Netizens React
The video has since gone viral, drawing mixed reactions.
