Badri Hosseini Khamenei (Persian: بدری حسینی خامنهای) is an estranged sister of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
In 1985, in the middle of the Iraq-Iran war, she left Iran with her children and fled to Iraq. She did so to join her husband, Sheik Ali Tehrani, after a one-year separation.[1] She admitted later that 20 of her friends were arrested and executed by the regime.[2]
In 1995, she returned to Iran, but remains alienated from Ali Khamenei.
In December 2022, amid Mahsa Amini protests, she criticized her brother's rule and his "despotic caliphate". In an open letter, she also hoped to see him overthrown. "The regime of the Islamic Republic of Khomeini and Ali Khamenei has brought nothing but suffering and oppression to Iran and Iranians," she wrote.[3]
