Joint US-Israeli Airstrike Wounds Former Iranian Foreign Minister, Kills His Wife

Iranian media report that a joint US-Israeli airstrike yesterday critically wounded former Iranian foreign minister Kamal Kharazi, 81, and killed his wife. It remains unclear whether Kharazi was the intended target or if the strike hit a nearby site. He served as foreign minister under President Mohammad Khatami and later advised Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In 2022, Kharazi told Al Jazeera that Iran had the technical capacity to build a nuclear weapon but had not decided to do so. After the current conflict began, he told CNN that diplomacy was no longer possible, citing broken promises by former US President Donald Trump.
