Iran’s Fars News Agency has reported that Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh, wife of Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is alive.
The agency, which is affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, says that earlier reports about her death are false.
Iran state TV channel Two had reported on 2 March that Bagherzadeh was killed “at home”, while other Iranian outlets said she was in a coma.
Previously, Iranian media said that Khamenei’s daughter, grandchild and son-in-law were killed.
Khamenei and his wife had six children – four sons and two daughters.
