Iranian media outlets on Sunday claimed that three relatives of the country’s Supreme Leader lost their lives following airstrikes allegedly carried out by the United States and Israel.
Reports circulating in Iran identified the victims as the daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who were said to have been killed during the latest wave of attacks linked to the escalating conflict.
The Fars News Agency, citing sources described as close to the Supreme Leader’s family, stated that the deaths had been confirmed after contacts were made within the household.
The outlet characterised the deaths as martyrdom, adding that confirmation came from individuals said to be familiar with developments surrounding the family. However, there was no immediate independent verification from international authorities at the time of filing this report.
The development comes as tensions continue to rise across the region, fuelling fears of a broader confrontation involving multiple countries.
