Senior Iranian politician and former Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi has died after succumbing to injuries sustained in a recent attack on his residence in Tehran. His wife was killed instantly in the strike, while Kharrazi remained in critical condition before passing away days later.
Kharrazi, who served as Iran’s Foreign Minister from 1997 to 2005, was a close aide to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and headed the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations. He was regarded as a key figure in shaping Iran’s foreign policy and advising on strategic international relations.
The attack, reportedly carried out by hostile forces amid escalating regional tensions, has dealt a major blow to Iran’s political establishment. His death underscores the vulnerability of senior leadership and the intensifying confrontation in the Middle East.
Iranian authorities have condemned the strike and vowed to continue Kharrazi’s legacy of defending national interests on the global stage. His passing marks the loss of a veteran diplomat and strategist deeply embedded in the Islamic Republic’s political fabric.
