Iranian media outlets reported Sunday that three close family members of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, were killed in what were described as U.S. and Israeli strikes.
According to Fars News Agency, the daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter of the country’s highest authority died in the attacks. The outlet cited “informed sources in the Supreme Leader’s household” as confirming the deaths.
“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,” the agency reported.
The reports have not yet been independently verified, and no official statement has been released by Iranian authorities beyond the media confirmations. There has also been no immediate comment from U.S. or Israeli officials regarding the claims.
The development, if confirmed, would mark a significant escalation in already heightened tensions between Iran, the United States, and Israel.
