BANGKOK — The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Thailand has called for public donations to support reconstruction efforts in Iran following devastating airstrikes that killed the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior officials. In a message posted online, the embassy expressed condolences for what it described as the “glorious martyrdom” of Khamenei as well as commanders and soldiers “defending the homeland.” The appeal follows a major escalation in the conflict after Israel and the United States launched coordinated airstrikes on multiple sites and cities across Iran starting on 28 February 2026. Iranian officials say the attacks killed Khamenei and other senior officials. The embassy said it had received numerous enquiries from Iranians and supporters worldwide asking how they could help rebuild the country and express solidarity. “In response to numerous enquiries from patriotic Iranians, zealous Muslims, peace-loving and justice-seeking individuals and groups around the world to help rebuild our country... we hereby declare the bank account listed below,” the statement said. According to the embassy, donations can be transferred to an account at Bangkok Bank under the name of the Iranian embassy. Donors are asked to include the note “Assistance for rebuilding Iran” with their deposit. The funds will be used to rebuild educational, medical, relief and sports facilities, as well as other infrastructure damaged during the conflict, the embassy said.
