According to Iranian media on Sunday, the daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei were killed in the US and Israeli strikes on Saturday.

The development comes after Khamenei’s death was confirmed by Iranian state media hours after US President Donald Trump made the announcement.

Fars News Agency and other Iranian media reported, “After establishing contact with informed sources in the Supreme Leader’s household, the news of the martyrdom of the daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter of the Revolutionary Leader has unfortunately been confirmed.”

86-year-old Khamenei was killed in an airstrike targeting his compound in downtown Tehran. Satellite photos show that the site was heavily bombarded.

The late Supreme Leader reportedly had six children, including three daughters. At the time of filing this report, it was unclear which of his daughters was killed.
