Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed the April 1 attack on X.
"Just as I was addressing the American people, the head of our Strategic Council on Foreign Policy was targeted in an assassination attempt," he wrote on X.
The attack killed Kharazi's wife, he added.
Kharazi served as Iran’s foreign minister from 1997 to 2005 and remains a key figure in Tehran’s strategic decision‑making.
