In a shocking incident, former Iranian foreign minister and senior advisor to the Supreme Leader, Kamal Kharazi, was injured in an Israeli attack on his home in Tehran, while his wife was killed, according to local news agencies.

Reports indicate that the attack targeted Kharazi’s residence as well as nearby government infrastructure. The motive behind the strike has not been officially confirmed, but experts suggest it may be linked to Iran’s ongoing regional tensions and military activities.

Dr. Kharazi was immediately transported to a hospital for treatment, with authorities monitoring his condition closely. The attack has sent shockwaves through Tehran and raised concerns over potential further escalations in the city.

Kharazi is a longtime adviser to the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and has continued to serve in advisory roles for the current leadership, including providing guidance on foreign policy and succession planning for Iran’s top leadership.
