Iran’s ex-foreign minister Kharazi ‘gravely wounded’ in attack on his home

Iran's former foreign minister Kamal Kharazi was gravely wounded in an attack on his home that officials are treating as an assassination attempt. Kharazi, who served as foreign minister under former president Mohammad Khatami in the late 1990s and early 2000s, has remained a prominent voice in Iranian politics. The attack comes amid escalating regional tensions, with Iran's military publicly pledging to continue fighting until the United States and Israel "permanently surrender." The identity and motive of the attackers remain unclear, though such incidents in Iran often carry significant political implications. The incident underscores deepening instability within Iran as it navigates ongoing conflicts with regional adversaries.
