Among those killed in the US-Israel airstrike operation are also family members of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Modern.az reports that this was stated in a report by Iran's “Fars” news agency.
In connection with the Ayatollah's death, a forty-day national mourning period and a seven-day non-working period have been declared.
Khamenei was 86 years old.
In the attack on Iran, four members of Khamenei's family - his daughter, son-in-law, grandson, and one of his daughters-in-law - were also killed.
Following the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, rallies and protests are being held in various cities across Iran.
Early on Sunday morning, March 1, 2026, after the news of Khamenei's death was confirmed, mourning crowds poured into the streets of Tehran and gathered near Tehran University.
The crowd chanted slogans such as "Death to America!"
Protests are also being held in Ardabil, Ahvaz, and Bandar-e-Genaveh.
