Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei died on February 28, 2026, during U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Tehran targets, prompting posts about a horrific practice: virgin female prisoners coerced into 'temporary marriages' with guards before execution to bar them from paradise. Survivor accounts and admissions, like warden Hossein Mortazavi Zanjani's 2023 confession from Gohar Dasht prison, describe this during the 1988 mass executions, with Grand Ayatollah Montazeri referencing orders in his memoirs. While no exact quote matches the circulating graphic attributed to Khomeini or Khamenei, the claims highlight regime brutality amid celebrations by dissidents and mourning by supporters, as Iran faces a leadership vacuum.

As videos capture Iranian women dancing in the streets to celebrate, grim survivor stories from the 1980s flood back into view.
