Khamenei’s daughter, in laws, granddaughter killed in US Israel strikes
Iranian media have reported that several close relatives of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, were killed in the recent United States and Israeli strikes on the country. Reports said his daughter, son in law and granddaughter died in the attacks, alongside other senior figures targeted in strikes on Tehran and key leadership locations. State linked outlets, quoting sources within the Supreme Leader’s household, said they had confirmed the “martyrdom” of these family members following the bombardment. The deaths came during the same operation in which Khamenei himself and other top military and political leaders were reported killed, prompting Iran to declare 40 days of national mourning. Officials in Washington and Tel Aviv have not given specific public comment on the reported deaths of Khamenei’s relatives, maintaining that the operation was aimed at Iran’s leadership and strategic military infrastructure.
