Update : 13 Mar 2026, 13:29

Iran’s Fars News Agency has reported that Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh is alive, contradicting earlier claims of her death.

The agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said previous reports regarding Bagherzadeh’s death were false.

Iran state television channel two had reported on March 2 that she was killed at her home, while other local outlets claimed she was in a coma.

Earlier reports from Iranian media also suggested that Khamenei’s daughter, grandchild and son-in-law had died.

Bagherzadeh and the late Supreme Leader had six children—four sons and two daughters—according to official records.
