Tehran, April 1 (AFP) Apr 01, 2026
Former Iranian foreign minister Kamal Kharazi was seriously wounded in a strike that also claimed the life of his wife, Iranian media reported.

Still an adviser to the government, Kharazi had given an interview to CNN a few weeks ago.

According to the newspapers Shargh, Etemad and Ham Mihan, his home in Tehran was targeted on Wednesday in a US-Israeli strike.

He was badly injured and hospitalised following the attack, the outlets said.

Kharazi had served as foreign minister from 1997 to 2005 under reformist ex-president Mohammad Khatami.
