(ECNS) -- Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader since 1989, was killed Saturday in a massive U.S. and Israeli attack, Iranian state media confirmed on Sunday.
The daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter of Khamenei were also killed in the strikes, according to the media.
"After establishing contact with informed sources in the Supreme Leader's household, the news of the martyrdom of the daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter of the Revolutionary Leader has unfortunately been confirmed," other Iranian media reported.
The United States and Israel on Saturday launched coordinated airstrikes against Iran, following weeks of military buildup and stalled diplomacy.
Increasing casualties are reported in Iran and other countries involved in the ongoing flare-up.
