Kamal Kharazi, Ex-Iran Foreign Minister, Dies After Injuries From April 1 Strikes

Kamal Kharazi, a former Iranian foreign minister, has died at the age of 81 from wounds sustained in US-Israel strikes earlier this month, Iranian media said Thursday.

At the time of his death, Kharazi headed the Strategic Council for International Relations, an institution linked to Iran’s foreign ministry.

According to Mehr News Agency and ISNA, the diplomat, “who was injured in a terrorist attack carried out by the American-Zionist enemy a few days ago, died a martyr tonight,” as reported on Telegram.

Media reports also said his wife died when their residence in Tehran was struck.

Kharazi served as Iran’s envoy to the United Nations before leading the foreign ministry between 1997 and 2005 under former president Mohammad Khatami.

The strikes are part of a broader conflict that began with US-Israeli attacks on February 28, which Iranian sources say have killed several senior officials, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
