Fezeh Hosseini, a prominent anchor for the Islamic Republic Radio and Television, recently shared a deeply personal account on her Instagram, describing an unforgettable encounter with Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.
According to a report by Iran International Persian on X on Monday, July 7, 2025, she recounted how Khamenei, after emerging from a period of seclusion, attended a solemn gathering at her workplace’s Husseiniyeh to commemorate the night of Ashura, a significant occasion in Islamic tradition marked by mourning and reflection.
In her post, Hosseini vividly described the overwhelming emotions she experienced during Khamenei’s visit.
She admitted to feeling so overcome that she struggled to remain standing, her heart pounding as if it might burst.

This raw display of emotion underscores the profound impact Khamenei’s presence had on her, reflecting the reverence many Iranians hold for him as a religious and national figure.
Hosseini went on to praise Khamenei, calling him “the most Iranian and patriotic leader of Iran and a distinguished religious scholar.”
Her words highlight her belief in his unwavering commitment to the nation’s identity and values, as well as his scholarly contributions to Islamic thought.
For Hosseini, Khamenei embodies a unique blend of spiritual authority and national pride, a leader who resonates deeply with Iran’s cultural and religious fabric.
