Multiple members of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s family — including his daughter and grandchild — were killed when the US and Israel launched airstrikes against Iran Saturday morning.

The eliminated 86-year-old tyrant’s daughter-in-law and son-in-law were also killed in the joint military attack, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, according Iranian state media.

It’s unclear where they were when they died.

President Trump confirmed earlier Saturday that Khamenei was dead.

His body was reportedly recovered in the rubble and a photograph of his corpse was shown to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a senior Israeli official revealed.

Israeli officials said that more than 40 top Iranian security and regime figures were eliminated in the opening strikes this morning, and as many as 10 high-ranking leaders were killed in the initial strike on Khamenei’s fortified compound.
