India, March 12 -- Late Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's wife Mansoureh Khojasteh Bagherzadeh is alive and the reports claiming that she died were incorrect, said Iran's IRGC-affiliated Fars News on Thursday.

This came after Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei did not mention about his mother's death in his first statement on Thursday.

Iran's later supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a strike by the United States and Israel on during the beginning of the war. In following days, several reports had claimed that his wife was also killed in the attacks.
