(VINnews) – According to Iranian media reports, Kamal Kharrazi — head of Iran’s Strategic Council on Foreign Relations and a former foreign minister — was seriously wounded in a strike targeting his home in Tehran. His wife was reportedly killed in the attack.

The strike took place today amid ongoing regional escalation. As of now, there has been no official confirmation from Iranian authorities, and further details about the circumstances remain unclear.

Kharrazi is considered a senior figure with close ties to the Supreme Leader. At the beginning of last month — prior to the outbreak of the war — he stated that the United States must understand that Iran has clear red lines when it comes to its security.
