US-Israel bombs Iranian official brokering deal with JD Vance in ‘attempt to derail Trump’s peace talks’

JD Vance’s peace talks with Iran may have been blown up after a key figure helping plan the summit was wounded in US-Israeli airstrikes on Wednesday.

Kamal Kharazi, Iran’s former foreign minister, was injured when a residential building in Tehran was struck, according to the New York Times.

Kharazi, 81, is seen as a moderate and widely respected foreign policy figure within the regime.

Iranian state media said he had been overseeing engagement with Pakistani officials to help organize a meeting with Vance aimed at ending the war.

Iranian officials condemned the joint US-Israel strikes as an ‘attempt to derail diplomacy,’ even as Donald Trump insists he wants to wind down the conflict.

Vance has emerged as a key behind-the-scenes voice pushing for diplomacy, warning the President against any slide toward a full-scale ground invasion.

It is unclear what the military objective of the strike was or Kharazi’s exact condition.

The Daily Mail has contacted the Vice President’s office for comment.
