JD Vance<\/a><\/span>\u2019s peace talks with\u00a0Iran<\/a><\/span>\u00a0may have been blown up after a key figure helping plan the summit was wounded in US-Israeli airstrikes on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Kamal Kharazi, Iran\u2019s former foreign minister, was injured when a residential building in Tehran was struck, according to the\u00a0New York Times<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n Kharazi, 81, is seen as a moderate and widely respected foreign policy figure within the regime.<\/p>\n Iranian state media said he had been overseeing engagement with Pakistani officials to help organize a meeting with Vance aimed at ending the war.<\/p>\n Iranian officials condemned the joint US-Israel strikes as an ‘attempt to derail diplomacy,’ even as\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a><\/span>\u00a0insists he wants to wind down the conflict.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n It is unclear what the military objective of the strike was or Kharazi\u2019s exact condition.<\/p>\n The Daily Mail has contacted the Vice President’s office for comment.<\/p>\n ____ The United States and Israel bombed the home of Iran\u2019s former Foreign Minister Kamal Kharazi, killing his wife and leaving him \u201cgravely wounded,\u201d according to Iranian media.<\/p>\n Kharazi has been seen as a potential peace negotiator in the current conflict given his role as head of Iran\u2019s Foreign Policy Council. Two Iranian officials said Kharazi was attempting to assemble a meeting with U.S. Vice President JD Vance, according to\u00a0The New York Times<\/i><\/a>,\u00a0leading many within the Iranian government to believe that the attack was meant to derail peace talks. Did Israel push the button while the U.S. stood by, allowing them to drag out this deadly war? Or is the United States lying about peace talks to locate and assassinate any of the Iranian leaders still willing to negotiate?<\/p>\n \u201cTargeting Kharazi sure looks like an effort to undermine peace talks and prolong the war,\u201d\u00a0The New York Times<\/i>\u2019\u00a0Nicholas Kristoff\u00a0wrote<\/a>\u00a0Thursday on X. \u201cIt would be good to know if the attack was American or Israeli, and if Israeli whether the Americans signed off on it.\u201d<\/p>\n Kharazi was complaining about this lack of diplomatic transparency on Western media just last month.<\/p>\n \u201cTrump had been deceiving others and not keeping with his promises, and we experienced this in two times of negotiations\u2014that while we were engaged in negotiation, they struck us,\u201d he\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0CNN.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
