When Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a Feb. 28 attack by the U.S. and Israel, hundreds of Iranian Quebecers rejoiced in the streets.

Six weeks later, the conflict between the United States and Israel with Iran is drawing mixed response from the diaspora.

Iranian Montrealer Atena Barforoushi says she was relieved to hear of the two-week ceasefire last week. She never supported the war, but felt “very satisfied” to see Khamenei killed.

Barforoushi now wonders what the death of this leader will cost. “The regime in charge is even stronger,” she said.
