The US-Israeli air strikes that on February 28 killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei not only resulted in the death of Iran's longstanding supreme leader but also several key family members.
His son Mojtaba, one of Khamenei's six children, was a week later named the new supreme leader. Other key family members were however killed, even though there has been uncertainty about the fate of some.
