Kamal Kharazi, Iran’s former foreign minister, has died after being wounded in joint U.S.-Israel strikes carried out on April 1, according to reports published Thursday by Iranian media outlets.

Kharazi, who was 81, was serving as chairman of Iran’s Strategic Council for International Relations, an entity affiliated with the country’s foreign ministry, at the time of the attack.

Iranian news agencies Mehr and ISNA reported that the longtime diplomat, “who was wounded in a terrorist attack carried out by the American-Zionist enemy a few days ago, died a martyr tonight”.

Reports also indicated that Kharazi’s wife was killed when their residence in Tehran was struck during the assault.

Over the course of his career, Kharazi held several high-profile diplomatic posts, including serving as Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations in New York before later becoming foreign minister from 1997 through 2005 under President Mohammad Khatami.
