Senior Iranian Official Gets Seriously Harmed in US-Israeli Attack
(MENAFN) A senior Iranian foreign policy official was seriously injured Wednesday in a US-Israeli attack targeting his residence in Tehran, according to reports.
The reports stated that Kamal Kharrazi, head of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations and a former foreign minister, was wounded during the strike. He was reportedly transferred to a hospital with severe injuries, while his wife was killed in the attack.
Kharrazi had served as a top adviser to the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and remained in his role after the new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, decided to retain his father’s officials without changes.
The US and Israel have conducted an air campaign against Iran since February 28, resulting in more than 1,340 deaths, including that of the elder Khamenei. In response, Iran has carried out drone and missile attacks targeting Israel as well as Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US forces, causing casualties, infrastructure damage, and disruptions to global markets and aviation.
