Overview
- Iranian outlets Mehr and ISNA say the 81-year-old former foreign minister died of injuries from a strike on his Tehran home that also killed his wife.
- Officials quoted by those outlets called the attack a terrorist act by the "American-Zionist enemy," though no one has taken responsibility.
- VINnews reports there has been no public comment from U.S. or Israeli authorities on the strike or on Kharazi’s reported death.
- Kharazi led Iran’s Strategic Council for International Relations and earlier served as UN ambassador before becoming foreign minister from 1997 to 2005.
- The death notice follows Iranian media claims of a broader campaign of strikes and assassinations since late February, which outside sources have not independently verified.
