In an official statement, Pezeshkian extended sympathy to Kharazi’s family, the diplomatic community, and the Iranian public, describing the incident as a “terrorist and brutal attack” carried out by “American and Zionist enemies” targeting his residence, Caliber.Az reports via foreign media.

According to Iranian state television, veteran Iranian diplomat Kharazi died from injuries sustained during a recent air strike on Tehran.
