The agency, which is closely linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, does not disclose details about the tragic incident but confirms that three members of the Khamenei family have died.
“By establishing contact with informed sources in the Supreme Leader's household, we have confirmed the sad news of the death of his daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter,” the statement reads.
At the same time, the agency does not comment on information coming from Israel and U.S. President Donald Trump, who claim that the Supreme Leader of Iran was killed in a missile strike. Official authorities in Tehran have not yet acknowledged Khamenei's death.
Washington and Tel Aviv have also not provided any evidence supporting the information about the Ayatollah's death.
The conflict between Israel and the U.S. with Iran began on February 28, when numerous reports of air and missile strikes on Iranian cities and military facilities started to emerge. In response to these actions, Tehran attacked Israel and U.S. bases in various countries in the Middle East. In the first hours of the conflict, several high-ranking Iranian officials and military personnel lost their lives. Shortly after the attacks began, Donald Trump announced the start of a military operation called "Lion's Roar," making a corresponding statement.
