Killed By Israel

Zahra Zakerian

Zahra Zakerian, the 7-month-old baby. What happiness you brought to your parents and big sister by your birth. What terror they felt for you in their final moment. Israel’s missiles killed all four of you. Rest in peace by your loving family.

Ali Sadati Armaki

Ali Sadati Armaki, the little three-year-old. You, your mother, older sisters, and grandparents were sacrificed so Israel’s missiles could kill your scientist father. But you didn’t even know what “scientist” meant. All you had learned in your short life was the meaning of love, beauty, play... and fear. Now rest, dear one, now rest.

Rayan Ghasemian

Rayan Ghasemian, the 2-month-old baby. It’s impossible to look at your last photo, wrapped in bandages and wearing an oxygen mask. Your tiny body must have suffered. Israel’s missiles burned you, then killed you.

Mohammad Ali Bahmanabadi

Mohammad Ali Bahmanabadi was only nine months old when Israel’s missiles struck their home, killing four members of the Bahmanabadi family, including Mohammad Ali, his mother, and two sisters. As the youngest member, Mohammad Ali died before he had the chance to grow. Now only a grieving father remains after the attack. Dear Mohammad Ali, son of Iran, your small and innocent face will always be remembered by the people of Iran.

Hida Zeinali

Hida Zeinali was a little girl who was killed when Israel targeted her family’s home in a residential area. In this attack, she lost her life along with her younger sister and father. Hida was too young to understand the hardships of the world. Her days were filled with innocent laughter and the simple joys of childhood. That pure innocence was taken away in a moment of violence. Dear Hida, daughter of Iran, your smile and bright eyes will always be remembered. You will live on in the memory of your homeland.

Aima Zeinali

Aima Zeinali, une petite fille qui n’avait pas atteint l’âge scolaire, a été tuée par Israël. Elle est morte avec sa sœur et son père. Sa courte vie était pleine de tendresse, de rires et d’amour familial. Israël a pris sa vie avant qu’elle ne puisse grandir et découvrir le monde. Chère Aima, fille d’Iran, ton innocence ne sera jamais oubliée. Ton pays te chérira toujours.

Mahya Nikzad

Mahya Nikzad, the 7-year-old student. Dear, it’s too hard to look you in the eyes—too much beauty, too much sensitivity, too much life for someone no longer alive. Israel killed you in its “purposeful and precise” attack on Tehran. Be in peace.

Mahya Sedighi Saber

Mahya Sedighi Saber, 8 years old, was killed by Israel on Tuesday morning, June 24. Even a child in her father’s family was not spared from Israel’s bombs. In Tehran, she had lost her brother and was preparing with her family for his funeral when suddenly she departed this world. Beyond her family, which lost 13 members, her school staff and classmates also mourn Mahya. She had asked her uncle to buy her a peach-colored nail polish, but it never came to beautify her nails. The memory of Mahya and 34 other students killed in Israel’s attack remains eternal in our hearts.

Mersana Bahrami

Mersana Bahrami, the 8-year-old student. There are books you’ll never get to read, friends you’ll never get to know. You’ll stay 8, while your peers move on with their lives. Israel’s missiles killed you as “collateral damage” of their missions

Zahra Barzegar

Zahra Barzegar, the little three-year-old. There’s a video of a curly-haired girl singing our beloved patriotic anthem: “Ey Iran, ey marz-e porgohar.” That little girl is you — a precious child born after a long wait. Israeli missiles killed you and your doctor mother while you were visiting your grandparents’ home, leaving your father grieving and heartbroken. And now it is Iran that mourns you: “Ey Zahra, ey my plundered jewel…” Forever, in the warm voice of Banān and the strings of Khāleghi, we will remember you.

Fatemeh Sadati Armaki

Fatemeh Sadati Armaki, the 8-year-old student. Being a daughter of an Iranian nuclear scientist was the crime that made you a “legitimate target” to Israel’s missiles. Not a single person in your family survived to mourn your innocence. Iran will mourn you.

Reyhaneh Sadati Aramaki

Reyhaneh Sadati Armaki, 13, was killed with her family. Then they said “they weren’t civilians.” They erased your childhood, beauty, and burned future. No, you weren’t ordinary — you were precious and irreplaceable. Iran cherishes your name, your small grave, and mourns you with every flutter of its flag.

Soheil Katouli

Sohail Katouli was only 11 when Israel killed him. He lost his life with his mother during an Israeli missile strike on residential areas. Sohail was a child full of dreams and joy. His life ended too soon, before he could grow, learn, and build a future. He and his mother were killed together. Dear Sohail, son of Iran, your childhood laughter and dreams will always be remembered. Though your life was short, your name will live on in the hearts of your people.

Baran Eshraghi

Baran Eshraghi, the 9-year-old student. Your name is a Persian word for “rain”. Israel’s missiles took you and your daddy. From now on, every rain drop is a reminder of loss and grief to your mother and relatives. Rest in the loving memory of homeland.

Mehrad Kheiri

Mehrad Kheiri, the 5-year-old child. When Israel attacked, your social worker mother felt it was safer for you to be with her, even though her workplace wasn’t the most suitable place for a child. Then they blew up the prison where she worked, and got both of you.

Parham Abbasi

Parham Abbasi, the 14-year-old student. By looking at pictures, one can see the profound bond between you and your sister, Parnia. You lived, laughed and climbed mountains together. And finally, when Israel's missiles found your family house, you died together.

Fatemeh Zakerian

Fatemeh Zakarian was only five when Israel killed her in a missile strike on her home. She died with her parents and baby sister. A joyful child, full of laughter and dreams. She loved her family’s warmth. All was stolen in a moment of cruelty. Her smile and playful spirit will never be forgotten. Her innocence will live in our memory forever

Alisan Jabari

Alisan Jabari, 7-year-old student. Just graduated from first grade, you had a passion for flight. You and your playmate Taha were playing in the alley when Israel’s “precise and purposeful” bombs found and killed both of you. Rest in the loving memory of homeland.

Amirali Amini

Amirali Amini, student and martial artist. Taekwondo is all about courtesy and integrity. Looking at your face, one can see a 12-year-old gentleman who remains 12 forever. Israel's missiles killed you during their mission of “saving Iranian people”! Rest in love.

Zahra BahmanAbadi

Zahra Bahmanabadi was only 9 years old, an elementary student, when she was killed with her mother, sister, and infant brother by Israel in a missile strike on residential areas. Zahra was a child full of dreams and joy. Her notebooks and pencils, her laughter with friends, and her bright future were all lost in a moment of violence. Dear Zahra, daughter of Iran, your dreams of growing, learning, and serving your homeland will never be forgotten.

Mohammadreza Aghdasi

Mohmmadreza Aghdasi, the 10-year-old student. Just a typical night. You and your father and sister were playing and laughing in the living room. Then, Israel’s missiles entered uninvited. Of the four of you, now there is only your grieving heartbroken mother…

Motahareh Niazmand

Motahareh Niazmand, here in your paper crown adorned with pomegranates, you were most probably celebrating Yalda: the Iranian ritual for the longest night of the year that leads to the rebirth of the sun. Yet Israel's missiles brought you the never-ending night...

Armin Mousavi

Armin Mousavi, beautiful child of Iran. Why is everything about you so symbolic? A seven-year-old boy from the heroic and wounded city of Andimeshk; son of a hardworking water well guard and a humble woman named “Siahgis”; your southern face, a legacy of the lively-hearted people of the South; the red poppy you hold, a symbol of lovers and martyrs in Iranian culture. Iran sees itself in you—its past and future, its regrets and hopes. And Israel’s missiles knew well that by targeting you, they targeted Iran itself. Your homeland will forever mourn you with the breath of the warm southern winds.

Tara Haji Miri

Tara Hajmiri, the 8-year-old student and gymnast. A video shows you dancing into the dentist’s office. Maybe your mom made it to ease your fear. But she couldn’t protect you when Israel’s missiles struck your family.

Hanieh BahmanAbadi

Hanieh Bahmanabadi, as the middle child of three, you must have been the spirit of the house. Now, there is no laughter, no chattering and no playfulness. Israel’s missiles found your family and all three of you are gone. Rest in love.

Milan Saber

Milan Saber, the 6-year-old skater. Israel’s war room called your family gathering a “human shield” and then blew it up to get to your physicist uncle. You could have become a physicist too. You could have become anything if you hadn’t been stolen of your future.

Yas Saber

Yas Saber was only 14 when Israeli missiles targeted her and her entire family in Astaneh Ashrafieh. Israel’s goal was to assassinate nuclear scientist Mohammadreza Sedighi Saber, one of her relatives. To kill the Iranian scientist, they had no hesitation in martyring his wife’s family, children, and neighbors. Yas could have gone to university after school or followed her passion, but Israel stole her future. Kind Yas, beloved daughter of the homeland, on your funeral day, women from your town carried your coffin to mourn with your grieving mother. Daughter of Iran, you flew away light as air. Whenever Iranians see or smell a jasmine flower, they will remember you. Sleep peacefully, for in our collective memory, you are more alive than ever.

Mohammad Hossein Khaki Ahmadabadi

Mohammad Hossein Khaki Ahmadabadi, a 12-year-old student, was killed by Israel. He died with his father in the first wave of Israeli attacks, when missiles struck residential areas. Mohammad Hossein was only twelve, full of dreams and deep curiosity about the world. His life, like his father's, ended in a sudden moment of violence. They were innocent civilians. Dear Mohammad Hossein, son of Iran, your laughter and hopes will never fade. Though your life was short, your memory will live on in the hearts of your people.

Sarvin Hamidian

Sarvin Hamidian, student. In Persian, your name means “cypress-like,” a sign of how inspiring cypress trees are for Iranians. But right now, you’re more like a broken 8-year-old cypress sapling, since Israel killed you and your mother by throwing bombs on you.

Amirali Khorrami

Amirali Khorrami, a seventh-grade student, was a kind, neat, and funny boy. He used to say “God bless you, sir” to his teacher every day when leaving. Israel, in its attempt to assassinate their scientist neighbor, Dr. Ahmad Zolfaghari, did not hesitate to take the life of a child Amirali’s age. Amirali could have become a scientist, an athlete, or an artist. He was full of possibilities, but his future was stolen. On the school’s website, one of his classmates wrote: “I wished I could hear your name once more in roll call.” Though absent from every class forever, he will always be present in the heart of Iran. Son of Iran, rest in the kind embrace of your homeland. In every lively and promising teenager, Iran will remember you.

Yasin Molaei

Yasin Molaei, the 6-year-old child. Of your family of four, two are lost forever. Israel’s bombs found you in your parent’s car, killed you and your mother, and left your dad and your sibling with a deep, dark hole in their chest. You will be remembered by tears.

Mersana Bahrami

Mersana Bahrami, the 8-year-old student. There are books you’ll never get to read, there are friends you’ll never get to know. You’ll stay 8, while your peers will move on with their lives. Israel’s missiles killed you as a “collateral damage” of their missions.

Armin Bakouei

Armin Bakouei, a 16-year-old student, was killed in an Israeli missile attack along with his father, mother, and sister. He was the son of Dr. Ali Bakouei, a prominent nuclear scientist. His life was full of laughter and the dreams of a teenager planning for his future. Dear Armin, son of Iran, your name will live on in the heart of your homeland. Though your life was short, your memory will inspire future generations.

Mojtaba Sharifi

Mojtaba Sharifi, third-grade student. You had such a beautiful and big smile. You should have laughed for many more years. You should have played, learned, and discovered the world. But Israel’s missiles targeted your parents’ car on the Najafabad–Khomeinishahr road and stole the future from you, your older sister, and your parents. Iran mourns your lost laughter.

Taha Behrouzi

Taha Behrouzi, 7-year-old student. In your Azari costume, you recall brave warriors, liberators, and singers from Iranian Azerbaijan. Whenever a plaintive Ashiki song is heard, your homeland will remember you.

Hamidreza Sedighi Saber

Hamidreza Sedighi Saber, a 17-year-old student, was killed during Israel’s blind attempt to assassinate his father at their family home in Tehran. One week later, while Hamidreza’s grieving family and relatives gathered at his maternal grandparents’ home in Astaneh Ashrafieh, Israel tried again to target the scientist. The second crime was even more heinous and took the lives of 16 innocent people. Among them were Hamidreza’s mourning parents, heartbroken sisters, and several children and teenagers. Iran mourns these precious lives lost. Iran mourns Hamidreza and all the youth whose futures were first stolen by Israel’s war machine and then whose dignity was diminished by its propaganda machine.

Ehsan Ghasemi

Ehsan Ghasemi was 16 when his name was added to the list of war martyrs. The thunderous sound of a missile on the morning of June 21 shattered the silence of Qom’s Salarieh neighborhood and took him forever from his family and homeland. Israel’s missiles targeted their neighbor’s house and killed Ehsan too, leaving another record of the Zionist regime’s crime in history. Ehsan Ghasemi served pilgrims at Imam Reza’s teahouse, and despite his young age, he was always thinking of his homeland. Dear son of Iran, pure-hearted teenager of the nation, we will never forget you and your everlasting smile. Pilgrims who received tea from your hands will keep your name in their memory for life. Rest peacefully in the pure land of your homeland. We will never let your memory fade, son of Iran.

Alireza Niazmand

Alireza Niazmand, the Iranian student. Looking at your picture, one can see the innocence and artlessness of a young soul who is just beginning to figure out the world. You were full of potential. Israel’s missiles stole your future from you. Rest in love.

Helena Gholami

Helena Gholami, the teenage karateka. As a martial artist, your soul was just on its way towards a journey of integration and perfection. Israel cut your way by blowing you up. From now on, any Iranian karateka who gives an Osu will be giving it to you as well.

Amirali Chatranbarian

Amirali Chatranbarian, a 14-year-old student, had gone to his relatives’ home in Astaneh Ashrafieh to spend a summer night. It seems he and his family were there to offer condolences to the Sadighi Saber family. At that moment, Israel’s missiles once again targeted this family and killed over 15 civilians just to assassinate a scientist for serving his country. Amirali was one of the children who fell victim to this horrific act. Dear Amirali, son of Iran, Iran will forever mourn you. Your memory will live on in the minds of Iranians forever.

Fatemeh Niazmand

Fatemeh Niazmand, as a bigger sister, you must have been a role model to your sister and an aid to your parents. You were someone's student, someone's friend, and someone's neighbor. You were part of a web of lives which Israel’s missiles tore up.

Fatemeh Sharifi

Fatemeh Sharifi, the 7th grade student. You must've dreamed of things like any teenager, maybe love or adventures or doing big jobs. Israel targeted your parent’s car on the road. Now, all your dreams are like scattered phantoms in the sky. Rest in Iran’s memory.

Matin Safaeian

Matin Safaeian was only 16 when Israel killed him. He was walking in Tajrish Square with many other civilians when Israel’s missiles struck the area and took the lives of many, including Matin. The missiles could not distinguish between soldiers and civilians. Matin was a teenager full of hope and dreams, waiting for a bright future. That future was stolen from him in a moment of injustice. Dear Matin, son of Iran, your homeland will always remember you. Your name will remain in the heart of your nation.

Mohammadreza Naderkhomseh

Mohammadreza Naderkhomseh was only 16 when he was martyred; an age when life should have become more desirable and full of promise, not ended. On the morning of June 13, when Israeli attacks brought down the walls of their home, Mohammadreza was not alone. His brother Alireza was beside him, as always. Just like every time the elder brother silently protected the younger one so he would not feel lonely. The absence of Mohammadreza and his brother is more than grief for their family and school friends. A teenager who still had to learn life now rests in silence in section 42, beside his brother. Mohammadreza Naderkhomseh, modest and gentle son of Iran; sleep peacefully. You remain alive forever in our memory. The people of this land will remember you whenever they see a tall, cheerful teenage boy.

Amirabbas Jafarabadi

Amirabbas Jafarabadi, eighth-grade student. You loved football and were the school’s top scorer. Every time teams were picked, everyone wanted to be on yours—with your sharp tongue and bright eyes. Your face was unforgettable. You had many friends who now ache from your absence. Maybe your future was in football, or medicine like your sister, or engineering like your brother. No one knows, no one ever will—because Israeli missiles stole the future from your whole family. We won’t forget you, son of Iran.

Sara Joodat

Sarah Jodat, 21-year-old photography student. Looking at your face, one might recall “Lady Sun,” the iconic representation of fair women in Iranian paintings. What a life you would've lived if you had the chance! At every Nowruz table, Iran will cherish you.

Mohammad Amirmahdi

Mohammad Amirmahdi, a young conscript soldier and law graduate, was supposed to finish his service and then return home to discover his future; he could have started a career, he could have known the taste of love. But the Israeli missiles that targeted his post at the Tehran police command left behind an unfinished story and a deep wound in Iran’s heart. Iran will forever cherish the memory of this unique life lost. Son of Iran, rest in the embrace of your homeland; a nation weeps for your youth and shattered dreams.

Abolfazl Rezaei

Abolfazl Rezaei, 20-year-old Iranian conscript soldier. Your scent spreads everywhere, O headless body. You were on duty at the police command when Israel bombed it and killed you. When they brought your body to your mother, you had no head for her to caress your face one last time. What a symbolic image; just like the icons of martyrs in Iranian culture: young, lonely, and headless. Now every lament in every Ashura is sung for you too; now in every flutter of the flag, the homeland honors you. Rest in the kind soil of your homeland, soul of Iran, youth of Iran, Abolfazl Rezaei.

Amirali Gharib

Amirali Gharib, a conscript of Tehran’s police force, was about to take leave and return to his hometown for a few days to see his family. But Israel killed him at his post, alongside his comrades, in a blatant crime. His life story ended forever just at the dawn of youthful passion. He was buried in Andisheh, his hometown. Forever, every young soldier who wears the uniform of serving the homeland will recall Amirali. Beautiful son of Iran, rest in the grateful soil of your homeland. With every breeze upon the flag, Iran pays tribute to its martyrs who gave their lives in defense of her.

Abolfazl Fathi

Abolfazl Fathi, a young conscript of the police force, was interested in media activities. Immediately after receiving his diploma, he went to military service, but even at his young age he had experience in news photography, graphic design, and video editing. Perhaps if he had lived, after his service he would have studied media and communications and nurtured his passion for this field. But Israel targeted his post and left his life story unfinished. Son of Iran, your homeland mourns your shattered dreams. Your homeland will not forget you.

Mohammad Amin Rouhbakhsh

Mohammad Amin Rouhbakhsh was a young conscript serving at Evin prison. He was supposed to finish his service and pursue his future, but Israel’s attack on Evin prison cut his life short. Israel’s propaganda machine and its media agents called this a “symbolic” attack to downplay the horrific deaths of dozens of people, including prison staff, guards, inmates, and their families. Iran honors the memory of all these children. Son of Iran, you are a symbol of youth cut short for your nation. Rest in the loving memory of your homeland.

Seyed Hamidreza Maktabi

Seyed Hamidreza Maktabi, a young conscript and video game designer, was supposed to finish his service and return to his beloved profession, where he was admired for his curiosity and creativity. He surely would have filled his personal and professional life with colorful experiences, just as he wrote on his blog: “I love new experiences, but I fear jumping from one branch to another, and that is my curse.” His life story was left unfinished because Israel martyred him at his post while on duty. When his body was brought to his grieving and patient family, it was headless—like the familiar image of martyrs in Iranian culture. Bearing the name of his martyred uncle, he himself now belongs among the martyrs of this ancient land. Son of Iran, your homeland mourns your youthful and seeking spirit.

Erfan Talebi

Erfan Talebi, son of Yazd—the city of windcatchers and sunlit houses—grew up with the desert breeze and began his youth under the shade of adobe walls. Born in 2005, he was only twenty, with dreams still soaring in the sky of his mind. On the day Israeli missiles tore the sky, he was taken from his homeland, his family, and his younger sister with whom he shared a deep bond. They thought by silencing his breath they could erase his warmth, but Erfan now lives not only in Yazd’s ancient alleys but also in the memory of all young people who, like him, love life and their land. Soldier of the homeland, son of Iran, your compatriots in an eternal covenant will keep your name and memory alive forever.

Mehdi Marefati

Mehdi Marefati, a conscript sergeant from East Azerbaijan, was martyred in Israel’s attacks. Not only in his surname, but in his soul and deeds, he carried deep devotion to the homeland—the same devotion that kept him at his post until the last moment. His body was taken to his birthplace, the village of Kandolaj, to rest in its martyrs’ cemetery; where the soil of Azerbaijan now bears fresh witness to the long list of its heroes. Azerbaijan, the land of commanders from Sattar Khan to the Bakris, which has offered thousands of unnamed martyrs to Iran, today records Mehdi Marefati’s name in its book of epics. Each time the whisper #Yashasin_Iran is heard in the streets and fields of Azerbaijan, his memory and youth come alive. Mehdi Marefati, soldier of the homeland, rest peacefully in Iran’s soil, for your legacy flows in the veins of this land and will forever remain in the historical memory of its people.

Iliya Nobakht

Iliya Nobakht, 20-year-old Iranian conscript soldier, killed in Evin. Israel’s missiles “symbolically” attacked Evin prison, killing you and dozens of others “symbolically,” then their media “symbolically” excused it, calling it a “military target.” When the walls collapsed, the blood of guards, children, conscript soldiers, social workers, prisoners, and prisoners’ families mixed together. A “symbol” of how Israel views Iranians: targets to kill, lives to take, deaths to dismiss. But for your homeland, you are the symbol of lost youth. Iran honors its little soldier in every flutter of the flag. We will not forget you, son of Iran.

Amirhossein Dogonchi

Amirhossein Dogonchi, 19-year-old Iranian conscript soldier. Your face reminds one of the proud Turkmens of Iran and all their noble traits—their bravery, love of peace, and cultural richness. Miles away from your motherland, the village of Dogonchi in Aq Qala, you were fulfilling your duty, planning to return and become a respected and useful member of your small community. But Israel’s missiles targeted and killed you at your post in the Greater Tehran Police Command. Now your face recalls the symbolic image of martyrs in Iranian culture: young and far from home. Rest in the grateful memory of your compatriots, noble son of Iran.

Mohammad Hossein Abedi Azar

Mohammad Hossein Abedi Azar, 20-year-old Azerbaijani conscript soldier. You had a leave permit in your pocket, but you did not go. You said, “I cannot leave the air defense boys alone.” Courage and honor lived in your heart, and you could not abandon your homeland in its time of need. When you saw the Israeli suicide drone, you had the chance to save yourself, but your choice was different. With your rifle, you aimed at it to save dozens of lives, taking the shrapnel yourself. You became Arash, who placed his life in the bow for Iran; you destroyed that drone with the arrow of honor. Truly, you were the heir of the brave warriors of Azerbaijan. Truly, you were a son of Iran, a son of the land of Sattar Khan. They killed you in Tabriz, and all of Iran mourned you. We will not forget you, soldier of Iran, brave Azerbaijani. Long live the mother who raised you.

Parsa Yadollahi

Parsa Yadollahi, a 21-year-old conscript, had been serving for five months at Evin prison. When Israel targeted the site, Parsa was stationed at the guard post and was injured by the blast wave. His body was pulled from the rubble unharmed. Twice he told the medic standing over him, “I’m fine.” But minutes later, with half-open eyes, he ascended to the sky. His loved ones remember him for his boundless love for family and homeland. One of Parsa’s relatives was killed in the Ukrainian flight, and Parsa was always a supporter and companion of the families seeking justice for that tragedy. He died alongside dozens of staff, guards, conscripts, prisoners, their families, and neighbors of the prison. Free son of Iran, rest in the kind embrace of your homeland. With every breeze upon the flag, Iran pays tribute to you and all its martyred soldiers.

Seyed Amirhossein Khademi

Seyed Amirhossein Khademi from Alborz province was nearing 35 when Israeli missiles, in a “symbolic” attack on Evin prison, targeted him along with dozens of prison staff, inmates, their families, and neighbors. Amirhossein was a skilled facilities engineer, but his life was not limited to engineering: he was also a rider and riding coach, a lover of nature and life. In most of his photos, he is smiling, either in pristine nature or on a noble horse. Israeli missiles separated Amirhossein from his wife and the home they had lovingly built; yet such bonds in this land are never forgotten, but become deeper and more enduring. Son of Iran, we will not forget you who were lost in the criminal attack on Evin. For us, you are forever young, smiling, and full of life.

Mohsen Vaziri

Mohsen Vaziri, a young conscript soldier, had just completed his training course. When Israel attacked Iran, he and his comrades were mostly on alert and spent long days away from home. One evening he was allowed to go home to bring more belongings. The next morning he had to be present at the garrison. After a long post under the hot July sun, around noon they were released to return to their quarters. That was exactly when Israeli missiles targeted the garrison... Iran will not forget these young lives lost. Son of Iran, rest in the grateful memory of your homeland. With every breeze upon its tricolor flag, Iran pays tribute to you.

Parsa Mansour

Parsa Mansour was an Iranian padel tennis player. He was a conscript soldier with only a short time left to finish his service, and had returned home to his parents for a brief leave. He was targeted by Israel’s “precision” missiles in a residential complex in western Tehran. His photos reveal the simple and innocent interests of youth: animation, pets, and of course, sports. He wanted an ordinary life with family and friends. First they took his life, then their media tried to normalize the crime. They said he was “not ordinary,” they asked if ordinary people live near “legitimate targets.” Son of Iran, your homeland knows how precious and irreplaceable you were. Iran, breathing with your grieving father, weeps for your burned youth.

Saman Daneshi

Saman Daneshi, born in 1999, was remembered by his friends on a condolence banner as “a kind and noble young man.” After graduating from university, he began his military service. Only one month remained before finishing when Israeli missiles struck a garrison in Karaj and martyred him. Surely, like all young men of his age, he carried great dreams in his heart. He wanted to build a peaceful life, pursue his passions, and live in comfort. But Israel stole his future. Son of Iran! Defender of the homeland! Your memory, kindness, and nobility will remain with your people. Rest in the grateful embrace of Iran.

Parsa Shokoohi

Parsa Shokoohi Shormasti, young Iranian conscript soldier. You were meant to finish your military service and return to Iran’s IT ecosystem to contribute to its creativity. You were meant to discover the future, if Israel’s missiles had not cut short your life story. You will remain in the grateful memory of your homeland.

Mehdi Foroutan Alvares

Mehdi Foroutan Alvares was a member of the air defense forces. Israel took this young soldier of our homeland from us at the very moment of his duty in the Dezful-Andimeshk air base through an airstrike. He was an athlete in kickboxing and shootfighting, and perhaps one day we would have seen him on the podium of global honor, carrying Iran’s tricolor flag on his shoulders in a victory lap. Now Mehdi Foroutan’s name is not only on the list of martyrs, but also engraved in the hearts of all young athletes, in the souls of all soldiers of the homeland, in the wounded memory of Dezful and Andimeshk, and in the remembrance of all the people of Iran forever. Young soldier of the homeland, now your name is inscribed in the finest place of your compatriots’ collective memory. We will not forget you, and whenever we recall the heroes of our land, we will speak your name too.

Mohammad Zolfaghari

Mohammad Zolfaghari, a 32-year-old Iranian, son of Dr. Ahmad Zolfaghari, nuclear scientist of Iran. Mohammad Zolfaghari, whose 32nd birthday could have been on July 10, was killed along with his parents on Friday, June 13, when an Israeli missile directly struck their residential home in Patrice Lumumba neighborhood. From their family of four, only Mohammad’s sister remains. Mohammad was laid to rest with his parents in Imamzadeh Saleh. In the Israeli attack on Dr. Zolfaghari’s home in Patrice Lumumba, eight other neighbors of this nuclear scientist were also killed.

Kamran Ghalehvand

Kamran Ghalehvand, father of Niloufar Ghalehvand. A man remembered for his noble smile. Kamran Ghalehvand was someone’s friend, someone’s neighbor, someone’s relative. He was part of the continuous and honorable chain of work that keeps society alive and dynamic. He was part of the network of interconnected lives that make up Iranian society. For Israel’s missiles, Kamran Ghalehvand was only a target; a life to be taken, with excuses like “collateral damage” or “not a civilian.” Kamran Ghalehvand, son of Iran, your homeland values your hardworking and noble hands; your homeland knows that you, your wife, and your daughter were precious, innocent, and irreplaceable lives.

Majid Tajanjari

Majid Tajanjari was a talented young man, an ordinary citizen. A young AI specialist and researcher, who from the very beginning loved inventing and creating new solutions. He found his path in artificial intelligence and programming. Dear Majid, you were the treasure of our great nation. Israel’s missiles cut short your path. But someone like you cannot be taken away from the homeland. In every young, seeking, and curious soul, Iran will find you again.

Saleh Bayrami

Saleh Bayrami, press photographer and graphic artist. Israel’s missiles killed you in Tajrish Square, the path of your everyday life. Perhaps you were returning from the office of a magazine you worked with. Perhaps you were heading to the graphic school where you taught. When the ground split and cars were thrown into the air, what was the last frame your eyes captured? Your colleagues will remember you for your creativity and boundless kindness. Your students will speak of your generosity and sincerity. Iran will call you a martyr of the homeland. This land, cradle of ancient rituals of remembrance and mourning for martyrs, knows how to immortalize the names of its children—like the name of Siavash.

Dr. Marzieh Askari

Dr. Marzieh Askari, physician and professor of neonatal medicine, mother of sweet-tongued Zahra Barzegar. In your difficult profession, you fought death time and again to save newborns. At the birth of your little daughter Zahra, you yourself came close to death. But when death suddenly struck in the ugly form of Israeli missiles at your parents’ home, you and your little Zahra were defenseless. Your absence is felt by many: by colleagues and students who remember you for your gentle and ethical character; by your grieving husband who lost all love and joy of life in a moment; by the society that raised you to be its proud child. Iran will recognize your simple and sincere image in every young and hardworking medical student. Rest in the grateful soil of your homeland. We will not forget you, daughter of Iran.

Farhad Fallahi

Farhad Fallahi, an employee of Evin prison, was a son, husband, father, and friend. When Israel attacked Tehran, he refused to leave the city. He stayed at work beyond his shifts to cover for colleagues on leave. When Evin was targeted by Israel, he and dozens of innocent people were killed. Genetic testing was required to identify them. Farhad’s father, Haj Gholamreza, who had lost his only child, could not endure the grief and left this world with unspoken pain. Israel’s propaganda machine called the attack on Evin “symbolic,” but many real lives were lost. Farhad’s teenage son, when he lost hope of his father’s survival, only wished that his father’s body had not been completely destroyed. Finally, Farhad’s body was buried alongside other victims of Israel’s crimes in Iran.

Neda Rafiei Parsa

Neda Rafiei Parsa, a self-made woman and university professor. On June 22, she lost her life at her workplace due to the blast wave from Israel’s attacks on civilian areas.

Mehdi Abbasian

Mehdi Abbasian, 18-year-old Iranian conscript soldier, originally from Rafsanjan, a city famed for its pistachio orchards and hardworking people. He was meant to finish his military service and then explore the future, but he never had the chance; Israel’s missiles killed him at the Greater Tehran Police Command. His young body was taken to Rafsanjan for a final farewell, then returned to Tehran for burial. Son of Iran, martyr of the homeland, rest in the kind soil of your nation.

Mojtaba Maleki

Mojtaba Maleki, young Red Crescent rescuer, was killed in Tehran when his ambulance was directly targeted. The burned ambulance now displayed in Haft-e Tir Square stands as witness to his humanity, sacrifice, and Israel’s war crimes. According to his colleagues, Mojtaba knew the danger he was stepping into. In his last recorded video, he laughed and spoke of martyrdom. Mojtaba Maleki, brave son of Iran, your wife still writes messages of love and longing to your silent phone. Iran still thinks of you. Iran will always think of you.

Amirali Fazli

Amirali Fazli, a 19-year-old conscript, was one of dozens truly killed in Israel’s so-called “symbolic” attack on Evin prison. The night before this crime, Amirali, who had not gone home for a week due to readiness duty, used his one-day leave to tell his younger brother: “I am reconciled with you. I love you.” and to send farewell messages to his friends. Now the circle of his five friends, without him, is forever like a chipped piece of porcelain—something missing. His place is empty in gatherings, parties, and many outings. His friends gather by his cold grave to keep alive the memory of that lost circle. Son of Iran, your homeland misses you like your brother and friends. Iran knows each of its children is unique and irreplaceable.

Mohammad Mehdi Yaghoubi-Zadeh

Mohammad Mehdi Yaghoubi-Zadeh, a 23-year-old from Tehran, was martyred in the Zionist regime’s missile attack on the Police Command Headquarters in Tehran. He was one of six soldiers who lost their lives in that cowardly assault. Mohammad Mehdi had completed his studies in electromechanics and alongside his education, worked in Lalehzar, Tehran, installing and commissioning industrial automation systems. But Mohammad Mehdi was not only a skilled engineer and technician; he was also a memorizer of parts of the Quran, a prayer caller, and a reciter at the Lalehzar Mosque. His pure body was recovered from under the rubble two days later and laid to rest among other martyrs. Young son of Iran; your hands were meant for building. If only the enemy knew that by taking you, they only made your name more eternal. Sleep peacefully, for your call to prayer remains immortal in the collective memory of the homeland.

Alireza Vafaei

Alireza Vafaei, young Iranian conscript soldier, served his military duty as a guard at Evin prison.

Son of Iran, your homeland honors the life of its lost youth.

Saber Akbari

Saber Akbari, 27-year-old nurse and former handball player in youth and national levels. According to his coaches, he had great talent in the sport and could have pursued a professional career; but his own choice was a profession in the health system of the country.

Son of Iran, your homeland mourns your lost youth and talent. Iran cherishes your name.

Reza Rezaei

Reza Rezaei, a young Afghan migrant, was among the civilians martyred in Eslamshahr. Had he been given the chance, he would have written the story of his life with his young hands. But Israeli missiles turned him into an unfinished story. His broken body was buried in Qarchak. In his youthful and beautiful face one could read how much hope, dreams, determination, and will were buried with this dear soul. Both kindred nations of Iran and Afghanistan mourn his lost youth. Dear Reza, rest in the soil that loves Iran. We will whisper your name with a lump in our throats.

Alireza Tanabandeh

Alireza Tanabandeh was serving his military duty. He had become a teacher to spend his service teaching. On June 23, he was killed in Israeli airstrikes.

Yousef Gorganli Dooji

Yousef Gorganli Dooji, a conscript and brave young Turkmen, was the youngest child of a hardworking farming family in the village of Maraveh, Golestan Province. He was named after his father, as he was born only a week after his father’s passing. Whenever someone passed through the family’s farmland, he warmly offered them ripe fruit. Whenever fellow villagers were building something, he rushed to help. Neighbors remember him for his kindness and unique courtesy. His broken twenty-year-old body was returned to his hometown for a funeral, where he was laid to rest amid the tears of his townspeople and the sincere respect of his comrades. Son of Iran, martyr of the homeland, your name is the eternal whisper of the Alborz peaks.

Dr. Davood Eyvazi Khameneh

Dr. Davood Eyvazi Khameneh was one of the victims of Israel’s missile attack on Tajrish Square in Tehran. His face recalled the image of heroes and noble men in Iranian culture—calm and confident. Son of Iran, treasure of the homeland, we do not know what bombs had to do with you, but we know your name will be spoken with honor, just as it is inscribed on your gravestone. Rest in the kind embrace of your homeland. Iran, in solidarity with your loved ones, mourns your unmatched soul.

Sahar Ghorbani

Sahar Ghorbani, together with two of her beloved family members, was martyred in the Zionist regime’s airstrike on residential areas. Their home was a small, warm refuge; a place filled with daily laughter and the warmth of a simple table. But Israeli missiles targeted them in that very home. At her funeral, the people of Ahvaz said Sahar was not only the daughter of that city, but the daughter of all Iran, and now her name stands alongside the martyrs of the 12-day imposed war. Sahar Ghorbani, daughter of Iran; you left… but in the memory of this people, in the heart of every mother who utters your name with grief and respect, you remain alive and eternal. Iran will never forget the names of its children.

Mehdi Pouladvand

Mohammad Mehdi Nazari

Mohammad Mehdi Nazari, a young seminary student from Mashhad, was the eldest child of his family. Most household responsibilities, especially following up on his father’s heart treatment, were on his shoulders. This time too, he had come to Tehran with his family for his father’s medical care. He was supposed to marry after returning from this trip, before the month of Muharram. But their apartment in Tehran was targeted in one of Israel’s attacks on residential areas. Before anyone could escape, a second explosion occurred and the building collapsed. Two members of this six-person family were lost forever: Mohammad Mehdi and his younger sister Zahra—the two who were closest to each other. Son of Iran, your homeland mourns you. Your homeland weeps for your stolen future.

Mahan Setareh

Mahan Setareh, a 24-year-old conscript soldier, was supposed to celebrate and marry after finishing his service. Israeli missiles killed him at his post. The propaganda machine of this child-killing regime called the attack “symbolic,” but many real lives were lost. Hours after the bombing, Mahan’s body was pulled from the rubble—when he had already become a star in the sky. Israeli missiles stole life and happiness from him and his fiancée. At his funeral in Imamzadeh Hassan, Tehran, a weary grieving woman stood with black-clad men beneath his coffin: his bereaved mother. Son of Iran, soldier of the homeland, rest peacefully in the soil of your country. With every star rising in the evening sky, Iran salutes all its martyred defenders.

Seyed Mohammad Amin Roshanrooh

The family of Seyed Mohammad Amin Roshanrooh was among the countless families whose lives were overturned by the Zionist regime’s attack on Evin prison. Like others, they rushed to the prison from the very first day and for about a week kept coming and going until they received fragments of their beloved’s body. Mohammad Amin was a conscript soldier working in the administrative section of Evin, 24 years old, with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. He had more than a year left in his service and had plans for the days after—finding a good job and wearing the groom’s attire. His family, like all those waiting with hope, still believed until the day before identification that he might be alive. Kind-hearted Mohammad Amin, it is impossible to forget you and your smile.

Seyyedeh Tahereh Aghaei-Doust

Seyyedeh Tahereh Aghaei-Doust was one of the many who were martyred in Israel’s missile attack on Evin prison. Like thousands of Iranian women, she was the pillar of her home and the source of affection; a woman who, in the absence of her husband—imprisoned for financial reasons—kept the household bright and was the support of her child. On the day of the incident, she went with her son to visit her husband. At the very moment their eyes were waiting for reunion, Israel’s missiles struck. Her son was injured, but the wound of his mother’s martyrdom will forever remain on his soul and memory. Tahereh, daughter of Iran, you were the meaning of life, passion, and motherhood. Your light cannot be extinguished. Your memory is a lantern in Iran’s collective memory. Rest in the kind soil of your homeland. Iran kisses your life-giving and comforting hands.

Mohammadreza Neshoumi

Mohammadreza Neshoumi, a 25-year-old conscript of Faraja, was martyred in Israel’s attack on that place. He held a bachelor’s degree in biology and before his service had worked for a time as a pharmacy technician—a job he carried out with compassion for the needy, even pawning his own wages to sell medicine on credit to customers. He was supposed to finish his service and return to seek his future, if Israel had not killed him at his post while on duty. Kind son of the homeland, Iran proudly calls your name.

Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani

Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani, an Iranian nuclear scientist, was martyred on the first day of the 12-day war in an Israeli missile attack. Years earlier, he had survived an assassination attempt by Israeli agents, but he never abandoned his scientific path. He continued research and teaching to contribute to Iran’s progress. Scientist of the homeland, son of Iran, you are gone, but your name will forever remain in the scientific and collective memory of this land.

Mostafa Mohahedi

Mostafa Mohahedi, a 24-year-old conscript at Evin prison, was from Yazd, embodying the traits of that desert land: hard work, frugality, and creativity.

Iran honors the memory of all these lost lives. Son of Iran, we will not forget you—simple and sincere, from the heart of Iran, resting forever in the homeland.

Amirhossein Jamshidpour

Amirhossein Jamshidpour, the second Red Crescent rescuer martyred, was killed in Tehran in Israel’s direct attack while on a relief mission. The burned ambulance in Haft-e Tir Square stands as a memorial to him and all selfless Red Crescent martyrs who were targeted against all rules of war. His friends describe him as a quiet and sincere young man. Iran will remember him in the honorable uniform of service—when for the last time he carried the rescue bag and approached the crater of the explosion to reach a frightened wounded person... Rest in the grateful memory of your homeland, son of Iran.

Mohammadreza Norouzi

Mohammadreza Norouzi, a conscript from Ardabil and a “brave son of Yurtchi,” was martyred in the Zionist regime’s attack on the Faraja Protection Center in Vanak. In the official language and literature of Azerbaijan, when someone is called “the brave son of Yurtchi,” it is not just an ordinary phrase; it is a sign of authenticity and honor flowing through the blood of this tribe generation after generation. Mohammadreza belonged to that lineage; from a tribe of men and women who learned steadfastness from the mountains and loyalty from the soil of the homeland. Mohammadreza Norouzi, son of Azerbaijan, soldier of the homeland; your blood is another story of loyalty and dignity of this land’s people, and your name will forever remain in Iran’s collective memory.

Yaser Ziouri

Yaser Ziouri, firefighter, volunteer rescuer, and basketball player. Even in the heart of the most terrifying disasters, he carried a message of hope and humanity to the suffering people of his city—like a white dove. Israel’s “precise and pinpoint” missiles targeted him while he tried to extinguish their flames of evil in Hamedan. He is gone, but Iran will forever recognize him in the face of every young and brave rescuer. Rest in the loving embrace of your homeland, soul of Iran, youth of Iran, Yaser Ziouri.

Amirhossein Salehi Olfat

Amirhossein Salehi Olfat, a 19-year-old conscript of the Army Air Defense, was from the beautiful and kind city of Rasht and was serving his duty in Arak.

Hossein Yousefkhani Kelisakandi

Hossein Yousefkhani Kelisakandi, an employee of Evin prison, lost his life in the Zionist regime’s attack on Evin, alongside more than 80 of our compatriots.

Iran cherishes all these irreplaceable lives.

Arkan Akhsh

Arkan Akhsh, young conscript soldier from Maku. Your name carries the beautiful Azeri resonance, recalling the heroic legends of your homeland, the horsemen of Azerbaijan’s vast plains. Israel’s missiles killed you in Sardasht while serving in the border regiment, in the honorable position of border guard. A position that Iranians throughout history have respected more than any other military rank; the place of the greatest heroes and commanders of the Shahnameh—Rostam, Zal, and Sam. Son of Iran, your homeland will whisper your name with every breeze: Arkan, guardian of Iran’s borders.

Mohammad Sadegh Khalasi Hamadani

Mohammad Sadegh Khalasi Hamadani, a 19-year-old conscript, had only completed one week of his service. Israel’s missile attack on Evin prison took his life along with dozens of other soldiers, staff, and innocent visitors from their homeland and families. His uncle said: “We told him guard duty is dangerous, try to change your post.” Mohammad Sadegh had replied with a smile: “I’m not afraid, guard duty is fine, my friends are there too.” Israel feared the courage of these young soldiers of the homeland and in one attack took them all. An attack they called “symbolic,” but which truly took many lives. Young soldier of the homeland, son of Iran, you remain eternal in the memory of all people.

Davood Mohammadzaheri

Davood Mohammadzaheri, a young man of the 2000s generation from Tuyserkan, was serving his duty as an air defense observer in a garrison in Dezful. The endurance and strength of Mount Alvand had multiplied in him, as he stood heroically to defend the homeland. Israeli missiles targeted him, his youth, and his future. By striking this soldier of the 2000s generation, Israel showed how much it fears the future of this land with so many brave young people. His courage is multiplied in all the youth of Iran. Soldier of the homeland, son of Iran, now your name sits alongside all those to whom our nation’s history is indebted for their sacrifice. Surely these days you watch us and your land with peace of mind from under the shade of a walnut tree—like all the walnut trees of your birthplace. We will not diminish your memory.

Sina Soleimani

Sina Soleimani, young stock trader and financial advisor. You wanted to “be the change you wish to see in the world.” Israel’s missiles killed you and your future. But your homeland keeps your dreams alive. Rest in our memories.

Ali Habibifar

Ali Habibifar, one of the young soldiers of the homeland, was martyred in the Zionist regime’s missile attack on Evin prison. A calm, polite young man attached to life, he spent most of his time with his two close friends. The three soldiers always said: “We will never be separated.” And so it was. When the bodies were pulled from under the rubble, Ali was found beside those same two friends; three young men, together, silent and peaceful, just like the days they laughed together. For three whole days, his mother stayed by the ruins of Evin prison, hoping to find a sign of her son. Finally, his torn body was recovered, and she became the mother of a martyr. Ali Habibifar, son of Iran; you and your friendship with those two martyred soldiers are now part of this land’s collective memory. Sleep peacefully, soldier of the homeland, for your name will forever shine in the hearts of the people.

Seyed Ali Akbar MirMohammadi

Seyed Ali Akbar MirMohammadi, young Red Crescent rescuer from Isfahan, was wounded during his relief mission and martyred a few days later in hospital. Rescuers were supposed to be protected in all wars. But nothing in this war was as it should be: that was Ali Akbar’s hometown, beautiful Isfahan, not a battlefield. Those wounded were his fellow citizens, not soldiers. And rescuers had no immunity... Your homeland will remember you, son of Iran.

Akram Abdolkarimi

Akram Abdolkarimi, she was a mother — not just to her children, but to anyone who needed kindness. At 80 years old, her home was still a safe haven for all those she had cared for like a mother. Israeli missiles killed her in her home in Narmak’s Sixth Square. And then came the machine of lies — to claim she was not a “civilian.” Kind-hearted mother, your memory lives on in the hearts of all those you mothered.

Nima Rajabpour

Nima Rajabpour, a 54-year-old news editor at IRIB, was due to retire in 20 months. He planned to return afterward to his lush and beautiful hometown of Lahijan. During Israel’s criminal attack on the IRIB glass building, Nima urged all colleagues to leave and only exited after ensuring the broadcast was secure. On his way out, he was hit by shrapnel. Though he initially answered his worried 20-year-old daughter’s call, severe bleeding soon left him unable to move or respond. His injured body was taken to hospital, but due to the severity of his wounds, he passed away in less than a day. Iran honors his memory and that of other victims of this war crime. Son of Iran, your homeland mourns you. Your homeland weeps with your grieving wife and daughters.

Pouyan Sareshti

Pouyan Sareshti, a conscript soldier, was serving his duty at Evin prison. Surely he had plans for after his service—perhaps to continue his studies, start a business, or build a family. But Israeli missiles stole his future. The first rescuers who arrived at the scene of this heinous crime knew that many conscripts had been killed, for a large crater had formed near the guards’ post by the gate. Pouyan was one of the 13 conscripts lost in this attack. Iran honors his memory. Iran honors all the victims of this war crime—staff, prisoners, their families, and the innocent residents of the neighborhood. Son of Iran, your homeland keeps your memory alive.

Hamid Saeedi

Hamid Saeedi, an employee of Evin prison, was originally from Sorkheh in Semnan province. He was a father. A picture remains of him holding his little daughter in his arms and smiling at the camera—a little girl who is now forever deprived of her safe refuge. Hamid was one of dozens of Iranians who truly lost their lives in Israel’s so-called “symbolic” attack on Evin. Former political prisoners remember Hamid’s kind and respectful behavior. When he worked as a supervisor in the remote visitation section, he once told one of them that to cover living expenses outside his prison shifts, he worked with his pickup truck in Tehran’s market. Hamid was a simple Iranian citizen, like many victims of the Evin war crime. Iran honors the memory of all victims of this crime.

Arvin Mohammadi

Arvin Mohammadi, an Iranian in his thirties, was an employee of a private company. He had gone to Evin prison to post bail for his father, who was imprisoned for financial reasons, to release him under emergency wartime leave conditions. At that very moment, Israel targeted the prison’s administrative building with its missiles, killing Arvin along with dozens of others. Israel’s Persian-language propaganda machine called the attack “symbolic” and tried to justify it by dehumanizing the victims. Iran will forever remember these innocent children of its land.

Mehdi Zartaji

Mehdi Zartaji, Red Crescent rescuer. You were a savior of lives, a healer. How many disasters you faced, how many pains were eased by your kind hands. When Israel attacked Tabriz, you and your team were there so the city’s hope would not be lost. Then they “precisely and deliberately” targeted you. Iran cherishes your memory, faithful son of the homeland, martyr of saving human lives.

Salahuddin Boslik

Salahuddin Boslik, driver and employee of the Parliament’s transportation department, had taken one of the representatives to the IRIB building for a television interview. At that very moment, Israel, violating the law of media immunity during war, targeted the place. Mr. Boslik was injured in the attack and the next day, due to severe wounds, was martyred. Son of Iran, your homeland keeps your name alive.

Hadi Sadeghi Kalaho

Hadi Sadeghi Kalahor, one of the young soldiers of the homeland, was martyred in the Zionist regime’s drone attack on Tehran Police Command. He was from Tehran and only 26 years old; at the peak of youth, just as life was beginning, enemy missiles took him from us. His eyes were calm and bright, as if their light came from faith and nobility. He is gone, but that serenity and certainty remain in the gaze of his comrades and in the hearts of the people. Soldier of the homeland, peaceful son of Iran; the calendar of this land will never forget June 15. Your name remains in our collective memory: alive, young, and radiant.

Ali Sanei

Ali Sanei was a tour bus driver. Many of Iran’s roads carry memories of him. His passengers saw nothing but kindness and good travel from him. He was killed by Israel on the Tehran-Qom road while driving his bus. He was neither a soldier nor a man of war. He was only a lover of travel. But Israel ended everything for him. Today, however, the roads of Iran will not forget him!

Dr. Akbar Matlabi Zadeh

Dr. Akbar Matlabi Zadeh, Iranian physicist and university professor. From a young age, what stirred your passion was knowledge. All you learned and taught was for serving your homeland. For Israel, you and your knowledge were neither tolerable nor stoppable, so they sent their missiles. To assassinate you, they did not hesitate to kill your wife as well. They justified your murder, as if killing scientists for their knowledge is acceptable! But someone like you cannot be taken from the homeland. In every young, eager, and patriotic researcher, Iran will see you alive again. Rest in the embrace of your homeland, son of Iran—the one soil that knows your true worth.

Majid Vafaei

Majid Vafaei, a dedicated lawyer, was martyred on June 15 in the Zionist regime’s attack while on his way to his law office on Saboonchi Street. He had endured the eight-year war and carried the medal of 70% disability from that war. For years, Majid Vafaei defended Iran with his noble life in the sacred defense front, and later, as a lawyer, he fought for justice and the rights of his people. Finally, while still bearing the scars of the first imposed war, he was martyred in the second imposed war. Veteran of the homeland, your destiny was martyrdom—and what an honorable destiny! Your compatriots and former comrades will never forget you. Forever, everyone who walks the path of justice will remember Iran through you.

Mozhgan Qaraviri

Mozhgan Qaraviri, one of the martyrs of the first day of the 12-day war, sacrificed her life for the homeland alongside her scientist husband, martyr Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi. For years she lived beside a man who was a scientific treasure of Iran, and with her own valuable concerns she became part of this spiritual wealth. She defined loyalty to the homeland not only through her martyrdom but also by living alongside her husband. In the first service after her martyrdom, female servants in the sermon ceremony at the shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh (peace be upon her) remembered her name—a name that will forever remain alive in Iran’s collective memory. Mozhgan Qaraviri, daughter of Iran, we speak your name with pride and hope. Your path, and that of women like you, will continue.

Dr. Amirhossein Faghihi

Dr. Amirhossein Faghihi, nuclear scientist and professor at Beheshti University. Your “crime” was that your brilliant mind sought to develop radiopharmaceuticals for cancer treatment. For this, you became the target of Israel’s terror machine, because you were a scientist who devoted your life to knowledge. Then their machinery of lies came forth to devalue your life and claim that mourning for you was unnecessary. Your homeland knows you, knows your truth and your worth. Your homeland knows how precious and irreplaceable you were. Son of Iran, your homeland mourns your merciless killing and will forever honor you.

Abdolhamid Minoochehr

Dr. Abdolhamid Minoocher, nuclear physicist and head of the Faculty of Nuclear Physics at Beheshti University. Your 63 years were spent serving your homeland through learning and teaching. You helped many talented youth tie their futures to the future of their country. Israel’s missiles assassinated you by striking your home and killing your neighbors. Their propaganda machine tried to normalize this war crime, as if being killed for serving your country were anything but a crime. You are not lost—your patriotic ideas are seeds scattered in the minds of many youth. Son of Iran, your homeland honors you with every sunrise over Damavand and every breeze that lifts its flag.

Zahra Nazari

Zahra Nazari, a young Quran memorizer and teacher from Mashhad, was among the victims. Her six-member family, including father, mother, and four children, had traveled to Tehran to accompany their father for medical visits. When the sound of the explosion shook their residence, the children first tried to help their parents escape. Before all family members could leave, a second blast occurred and the building collapsed. Zahra and her elder brother Mohammad Mehdi did not survive under the rubble. Their sister Zeynab, only two days after her marriage contract, was seriously injured by the blast wave. Daughter of Iran, your homeland mourns you like your heartbroken parents. Iran never forgets its martyred children.

Fazlollah Faraji

Fazlollah Faraji, a calm and kind man, was martyred in the Zionist regime’s airstrike on Qods Square in Tajrish. That morning he had left home for his daily tasks, unaware that war had reached the heart of the street. He was a well-known cabinet maker in Jajrood; a man from the generation of Iran’s hardworking laborers. In his neighborhood, everyone knew him for his reliability and serenity; a veteran of the Sacred Defense who never spoke of his past. He had told those around him that if the country ever needed him again, he would not hesitate to return to the battlefield. Fazlollah Faraji now rests in section 42 of Behesht Zahra. Humble man of Iran, you left, but your name remains alive in the hearts of all Iranians with respect and longing. In the collective memory of this land, you are among those men who lived silently, yet will never be forgotten.

Maryam Babaei

Maryam Babaei, a beloved retired teacher and kind mother, had just three years of rest after thirty years of teaching reading and writing to generations of seven-year-olds in this land. Her kind heart had recently undergone surgery, and during recovery she was staying at her daughter’s home. On that very night, Israel targeted one of her daughter’s neighbors’ houses in a residential area of Tehran, and she was martyred along with her family. Her colleagues remember her for her kindness and exemplary popularity among children. She was an exceptional teacher for Iran’s children and a light and support for her young daughter and son. Daughter of Iran, in every corner of this soil, classrooms, blackboards, and benches salute your nurturing hands.

Majid Javaheri

Majid Javaheri, a civil engineer, employee of the Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies, and freelance building designer.

Noble son of Iran, your homeland mourns the stolen happiness of your life. Iran will not forget you.

Hamid Ranjbari

Hamid Ranjbari, employee of Evin prison. You worked in the prison release unit, where the best news is given to convicts. You had studied law and had recently been accepted into the bar exam. Israel’s missiles killed you and dozens of others “as a symbol of freedom”; all of you—employees, guards, prisoners, and prisoners’ families—buried under rubble, to be a “symbol” of what they wished for Iran: death and destruction. It took three days to recover your body from the ruins. When they found you, you were holding the small hand of your colleague’s child so tightly it was hard to separate; perhaps you wanted to save the five-year-old, perhaps just comfort him. After all, your own child was only a year older than little Mehrad, and you knew how terrified a small child would be in that hell.

Mansoureh Alikhani

Mansoureh Alikhani, 58-year-old Iranian artist. In your paintings one can see how deeply you reflected on the suffering of war and the resistance of people against aggressors. You had already endured another imposed war 45 years ago, without knowing that yet another war awaited you. Israel’s missiles mixed your blood with the colors of your art. Remain eternal in the colorful memory of your homeland.

Taher Ayatollahi

Taher Ayatollahi, a kind father, laboratory sciences expert, and employee of the year at Iran University of Medical Sciences. In the photo left of him and his little daughter, he bends protectively and fatherly toward her. This scene will never be repeated again; for Israel killed Taher during its airstrikes on residential areas of Tehran. Son of Iran, your homeland weeps for your absence and for your daughter’s loneliness. The homeland will not forget you, kind man.

Mehnaz Ne’mati

Mehnaz Ne’mati was a skilled and dutiful nurse. She was fully aware of her vital role for society. When Israel attacked Tehran, she refused to leave the city or her post and bravely continued caring for her patients amid the terrifying sounds of bombing and missiles. Israel killed her in her own home during its attack on residential areas of Tehran, an assault that also injured her husband and children. Her lifeless body was returned to her hometown, Aliabad Katoul, for funeral and burial, accompanied by the grateful tears of relatives and fellow citizens. Iran pays tribute to her healing hands. Daughter of Iran, your absence is a wound on the chest of the homeland. Rest in the grateful soil of your country.

Maryam Vahedpanah

Maryam Vahedpanah was an accountant; a calm and hardworking woman who organized difficult administrative tasks with discipline and precision. On the day of the attack, when the sound of the explosion spread, her brother rushed to Evin. But it was too late; Maryam was trapped under the rubble and fire of the building and had no life left. Later her brother said: “My sister was an employee of Evin. We were nearby. When I heard the sound of the attack, I rushed there, but everything was already over.” Maryam Vahedpanah was one of the many innocent victims whom Israel took from us with its missiles in what it called a symbolic attack. Daughter of Iran, you are no longer with us and your family, but your name, your efforts, and your innocence will remain in our collective memory. Rest peacefully in the proud soil of your homeland.

Ahad Aghdasi

Ahad Aghdasi, young cleric. The last image your wife saw of you was you playing and laughing with the children. Then came Israel’s missiles. The next frame was the explosion and collapse of your small home. Israel killed you—and your little children. In those final minutes, under the rubble, what terror you must have felt for your wife, your 13-year-old daughter, and your 10-year-old son... Now you are gone, and your wife remains alone with unspeakable grief. Pray for her peace. Son of Iran, your last beautiful image is eternal in your homeland’s memory.

Hojjat Rouintan

Hojjat Rouintan, a service worker at Vali-Asr Hospital in Tehran. He and his wife each worked several shifts in different service jobs to cover rent and their teenage children’s education. Photos of Hojjat show him dancing to bring smiles to his colleagues during Israel’s bombardments. On a working day, at his workplace, he was martyred by the blast wave of a nearby building. Iran cherishes his memory. Noble son of Iran, your homeland will forever repeat your name with pride.

Dr. Saeed Borji

Dr. Saeed Borji, Iranian scientist. You were a son of Kazeroon, warm-hearted and proud like all its people. You were a scientist of Iran. Your life was spent at the university, from the day you entered as a student of materials engineering until the dawn of June 13, when you were assassinated for being a scientist. You were a child of Iran and a treasure of this nation. We will not forget you.

Amirmohammad Rahmati

Amirmohammad Rahmati was one of at least 13 conscripts killed in Israel’s so-called “symbolic” attack on Evin prison. Each of these young men was at the beginning of an undiscovered path to their future, when their life stories were cruelly cut short. Other victims of this heinous crime included prisoners, their families, and prison staff. For the Iranian nation, Amirmohammad is a symbol of youth and a lost future. Son of Iran, your homeland will not forget you. Iran keeps alive the dreams you lost.

Ruhollah Bahrami

Ruhollah Bahrami was an accountant. He was 45 years old. He, his wife Behjat Saeedian, and their 10-year-old daughter Mersana were killed in Israel’s airstrike on residential areas of Tehran while sleeping in their home. Only the family’s 16-year-old son, who was in another room at the time of the attack, survived. The bodies of this family were identified after 12 days through DNA testing. Iran will not forget this beloved family. Son of Iran, your homeland cries for your lost dreams. Your homeland cries for your son’s loneliness.

Hafiz Bostan

Hafiz Bostan, a 45-year-old Afghan migrant, was originally from a village in the beautiful Parwan province. This province is called the “Garden of Afghanistan” for its green valleys, vast fruit orchards, and historic resorts. Hafiz was killed in the heinous crime at Tajrish Square in Tehran, along with several other innocent pedestrians and drivers. His calm and beautiful face recalls the people of Afghanistan and their beloved traits: resilience, vitality, and love of nature. Iran will forever cherish the memory of this oppressed migrant. Hardworking man, now two nations mourn you.

Dr. Ali Bakouei

Dr. Ali Bakouei, nuclear scientist and faculty member at Tarbiat Modares University, was martyred along with his wife and two children in an Israeli airstrike on his home. At the time of his death, he was head of the Atomic and Molecular Physics Department at the university. Dear Ali, son of Iran, your dedication, service, and innocence will inspire future generations. Rest in peace.

Mohammad Nasri

Mohammad Nasri, a hardworking father and caring neighbor from Qorveh in Kurdistan province, was known for following up on the problems and needs of his neighbors during his frequent trips to Tehran. He was one of the invisible pillars of his community, renowned among acquaintances and neighbors for honesty and a righteous life. Israel killed him during one of his trips to Tehran. News of his martyrdom left many in shock and sorrow. Iran will forever remember this righteous and compassionate son. Son of Iran, rest in the kind soil of your motherland. At every sunrise over the steadfast Zagros mountains, Iran salutes your problem-solving hands.

Mahdiar Pouryamin

Mahdiar Pouryamin, a nursing expert and conscript of the police force, was supposed to finish his service and return to his desert hometown, Tabas. The bright future awaiting him was lost forever, as Israel killed him while on duty at the Tehran police command headquarters. In this attack, several police forces, both conscripts and staff, were killed. Iran, together with Mahdiar’s mother, Mrs. Fahimeh Gheysari, a well-known patriotic poet from Tabas, mourns his unique and precious life; a grieving mother who, just days before her son’s martyrdom, had written for her homeland: “Life will overflow in the homeland, O death—this love, this hope, this faith will not die.” Son of Iran, rest in the loving embrace of your motherland. At every sunrise, the homeland pays tribute to the immortal spirit of its martyrs.

Mehrdad Kiakazemi

Mehrdad Kiakazemi, a 55-year-old citizen, was one of the innocent people killed in Tajrish Square. He was the driver whose image from the explosion caused by Israel’s attack on Tajrish shook everyone’s hearts. Many innocent people were killed in Israel’s attack on Tajrish. Each had a home and family waiting for them. But Israeli missiles struck them while they were waiting for the traffic light to turn green. Mehrdad could have returned to his wife and his sons, aged 16 and 24. But now he rests in the section of martyrs of the Second Imposed War in Behesht Zahra cemetery in Tehran. Iran will not forget his tragic story. Son of Iran, your homeland mourns your unfinished tale. Rest in the kind soil of Iran.

Abolfazl Niazmand

Abolfazl Niazmand was a seminary student and prayer leader at Chamran Town Mosque in Tehran. In Israel’s bombing of residential homes, he, his wife, and their three young children—Motahareh, Fatemeh, and Alireza—were martyred. Like all Iranians, he cared deeply for his fellow citizens. He was a cleric from Gonbad-e Kavus who had served the underprivileged in Golestan Province for years. Israeli missiles leveled the warm home of this family; only fragments of their bodies were found under the rubble. His brother said: “The bodies were under the debris, and we kept searching for bones or pieces of clothing that might belong to my brother and his family.”

Reza Moharrami

Reza Moharrami, a young air defense soldier from Tabriz, was killed during one of Israel’s attacks on this steadfast and heroic city, alongside dozens of other defenders of the homeland’s sky. He was supposed to complete his service and then return to shape his future with his youthful and strong hands; but all his tomorrows were stolen from him. Iran, together with his grieving family and fellow citizens, weeps for his cut-short youth. Son of Iran, true heir of the brave warriors of Azerbaijan, rest in the soil of your motherland. At every sunrise over the proud peak of Sahand, Iran pays tribute to its martyred defenders.

Mojtaba Bokhziry

Mojtaba Bokhziry was another conscript soldier whose precious life was taken by Israel. He was from Abadan, the city of burnt palms, and in his face and gaze one could see the steadfastness and enduring innocence of the people of the South. He was martyred in a garrison in another wounded city, Ahvaz. Israeli missiles targeted every corner of this vast land to take away beloved sons of Iran like Mojtaba Bokhziry, unaware that we will never forget our soldiers and defenders of the homeland. Son of Iran, rest proudly in the peaceful soil of Abadan. Every warm breeze from the eternal Persian Gulf will remind us of you and your bravery.

Dr. Ahmadreza Zolfaghari

Dr. Ahmadreza Zolfaghari, professor of nuclear physics and former dean of the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences at Shahid Beheshti University. To assassinate you, Israel’s missiles did not hesitate to kill your neighbors too—ordinary people. Their media tried to make you an exception, as if killing scientists is justified. Israel’s media agents suggested that killing you, a scientist and academic treasure of Iran, was more acceptable than killing other civilians. As if serving the homeland is not an honor but a crime. Son of Iran, your homeland knows how precious and irreplaceable your life was. Iran mourns you, and every young person entering university walks the path you and Iranian scientists built.

Reza Amini

Reza Amini was only 44 years old when Israel killed him and his young son. Reza Amini was an electrical engineer at the Ministry of Defense. The family had packed their belongings to move to a new home in a few days. But Israel, by attacking residential areas, killed him and his son, leaving only a photo frame to forever preserve the image of a father in midlife with countless green hopes. His body was unrecognizable due to the destruction of debris; DNA testing confirmed his identity. He did not die on the battlefield, but in his own home... Son of Iran, we will not forget you.

Morteza Khazaei

Morteza Khazaei, young conscript soldier from Nowshahr. You had a swallow tattooed on your arm; perhaps it reminded you of your beautiful coastal hometown, perhaps you wanted to carry a symbol of freedom with you. Israel’s propaganda machine claimed that killing you and dozens of others in Evin prison was a “symbol of freedom.” Rubble, broken bodies, and lost lives—that is their meaning of freedom. But you, young soldier of the homeland, knew freedom better than they did... Son of oppressed Iran, your homeland will not forget you. Your homeland will keep your lost dreams alive.

Dr. Davood Shirvani Boroujeni

Dr. Davood Shirvani Boroujeni, an infectious disease resident and physician at Evin prison, was killed on a working day at his workplace. He was examining a patient when Israeli missiles “symbolically” targeted the prison. In the last moments of his life, Davood saved another human being. He told his patient to take cover under the desk, but he himself had no chance to hide. Later, his patient was rescued from under the rubble, and his lifeless body was also pulled out. Iran will keep his memory alive with gratitude. Son of Iran, your homeland will never forget your healing hands. Rest in the kind soil of your homeland.

Hossein Ahmadi

Hossein Ahmadi, employee of the Infrastructure Communications Department in Hamedan. Your name is a familiar one. Your face resembles that of someone familiar—the familiar image of an Iranian father. Each of your compatriots can imagine you as a dear relative lost; a father who went to work one day and never returned. You are gone, but we will not forget you. Israel killed you, but your memory lives on whenever we see fathers of your age struggling with the worries of their children’s happiness in this country.

Saronaz Vaezzadeh

Saronaz Vaezzadeh, 29-year-old business development expert. The meaning of your name in Persian is “beautiful cypress tree,” a symbol of Iranians’ love for the cypress, which represents both beautiful youth and martyrs of the homeland. Israel killed you, and their media claimed you were not ordinary citizens. They killed you and pushed their agents in the media to normalize your death, Saronaz. But we will never forget that they destroyed all that beauty and all that passion for life.

Amirhossein Mahdipoor

Amirhossein Mahdipoor, a young conscript of the police force, had completed most of his service. Only five months remained until the end of his duty, but Israel stole his future and that of many brave youths of the homeland. On the day of the attack on the Tehran Police Headquarters, Amirhossein had just finished his post and was waiting for his daily leave paper to be stamped so he could return to his family for a short rest. At that very moment, the enemy’s missile struck the police compound, and Amirhossein was trapped under the rubble of a four-story building. He left behind a grieving yet resilient father who, with a trembling voice, said: “We fulfilled our duty to the homeland.” Amirhossein, noble son of Iran, rest in the grateful soil of your homeland. In Iran’s memory, you and your friends will never die.

Alireza Zeynali

Alireza Zeinali, 37-year-old engineer. What a proud father you must've been because of your daughters. What a terror you must've felt for them at the last breath. Israel ruined your family as a “price for freedom”. What a heavy price for your grieving wife to pay.

Ashraf Afshordi

Ashraf Afshordi, wife of Lieutenant General Mohammad Bagheri and mother of Iranian journalist Fereshteh Bagheri, was killed at dawn on Friday, June 13, on the first day of Israel’s assault, beside her husband and daughter under the roof of her own home. Israel’s propaganda machine tried to normalize this crime—as if their home were a battlefield, as if assassinating commanders in their homes beside their families were not a war crime. She had lived throuAshraf Afshordi, wife of Lieutenant General Mohammad Bagheri and mother of Iranian journalist Fereshteh Bagheri, was killed at dawn on Friday, June 13, on the first day of Israel’s assault, beside her husband and daughter under the roof of her own home. Israel’s propaganda machine tried to normalize this crime—as if their home were a battlefield, as if assassinating commanders in their homes beside their families were not a war crime. She had lived through the hard days of resistance and had tasted the pain of farewells, waiting, and worry for her loved ones many times. Perhaps in her prayers she had asked God not to separate her from them, and to let her final journey be beside them; perhaps her bloody fate was the answer to those prayers. Brave daughter of Iran, rest beside your loved ones. Iran will never forget that the strength of its borders is owed to the sacrifice and resilience of courageous women like you.gh the hard days of resistance and had tasted the pain of farewells, waiting, and worry for her loved ones many times.

Brave daughter of Iran, rest beside your loved ones. Iran will never forget that the strength of its borders is owed to the sacrifice and resilience of courageous women like you.

Behnam Ghasemian

Behnam Ghasemian, a young engineer, a proud and hardworking father of two children—five years old and two months. The joy of little Rayan’s birth still filled your home. You were a colleague, a friend, a neighbor. Many people relied on you in life and work. Israeli missiles burned and killed your small family. Then their media called it “collateral damage,” dismissing your worth and pain. But your fellow Iranians know how vital each of you was to our society. They know your true value. Rest in the kind embrace of your homeland.

Dariush Joodat

Dariush Jodat was a retired bank employee. That night was an ordinary evening at their home. He and his family were having dinner and watching TV together. Then Israel’s missiles, on their way to “bring freedom to Iran,” paid a visit to their home. The Israelis destroyed his house. After that came the explosion, the rubble, the darkness, and unconsciousness. When the darkness ended, Dariush and his 22-year-old daughter Sara were no longer in this world. Israel killed them.

Taha Gerayloo

Taha Gerayloo, a twenty-year-old from Minoodasht serving his conscription in Tehran, was martyred by the child-killing Zionist army. His body was returned to his hometown for a glorious funeral. The sorrowful memories suggest that Taha himself had chosen the path of martyrdom or had foreseen it; when he jokingly told his young mother, “If I become a martyr, you will be a martyr’s mother,” or when he answered his friends who asked if he would return home for Muharram, saying, “I will come, but I will not return again.” His eternal return to his hometown took place just weeks before Muharram. Son of Iran, may the soil of Iran be gentle upon you. At every sunrise on the eastern borders, the homeland salutes your forever young spirit.

Behjat Saeidian

Behjat Saidian, wife of Mojtaba Bahrami and mother of Mersana, was an employee of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company. All members of this small family were killed in their home during Israel’s attack on residential areas. Iran eternally cherishes the memory of this beautiful family. Daughter of Iran, your homeland will never forget you and your sweet family.

Dr. Mostafa Sadati Armaki

Dr. Mostafa Sadati Armaki, Iranian nuclear scientist and expert in nuclear physics, was killed when Israeli missiles targeted his home while his wife, three children, and his wife’s parents were inside. Identification was impossible without genetic testing. Those who attended the funeral said all the coffins were light, because little remained of the bodies of this family. Israel’s Persian-language propaganda machine tried to normalize this horrific crime by claiming it was against a nuclear scientist, as if it were different from the killing of other civilians. Dr. Armaky’s only “crime” was that he had chosen knowledge as his path and devoted it to serving his homeland.

Ali Asghar Pazouki

AliAsghar Pazouki, a well-known and respected merchant of Tehran’s bazaar, had worked and studied since childhood, maintaining his love for reading, especially Iranian history. His customers knew him for fairness and kindness. His family knew how deeply he loved Iran. When Israel attacked Tehran, he consciously chose not to leave the city. During Israel’s so-called “symbolic” attack on Evin prison, he was killed in the nearby judicial complex. He had gone there to help a friend with a legal matter. Besides Mr. Pazouki, dozens of others—including staff, guards, prisoners, their families, and neighbors—were also killed. Iran honors the memory of them all. Iran honors the memory of Ali-Asghar, this noble and righteous man.

Mansour Gorgijmehr

Mansour Gorgijmehr, a conscript soldier of the police force from Gonbad-e Kavus, was martyred in Israel’s attack on Tehran. In his calm yet determined face, one could see the bravery and resilience of the Baluch people and the sincere faith of Iran’s Sunnis. This soldier of the homeland represented a people with a rich heritage of epic culture and beautiful traditions, who have repeatedly proven that sacrificing for the honor of the homeland is their pride. With his martyrdom and that of five other soldiers from Gonbad-e Kavus, Israel showed its fear of the strong youth of this land and their future. In her final farewell to her son’s body, Mansour’s mother was calm and steadfast… as if she were whispering the lullaby of a thousand Iranian mothers to her martyred child. Soldier of the homeland, your name, as your mother called you, will remain in our collective memory. Never shall we forget you, son of Iran!

Ehsan Eshraghi

Ehsan Eshraghi, 48-year-old bank employee. Your beautiful home has been replaced by candles and black mourning ribbons.

They first destroyed your happiness and then called it “collateral damage.” Iran will remember you.

Elham Farahmand

Elham Farahmand, wife of Abolfazl Niazmand and mother of Fatemeh, Alireza, and Motahareh, was killed in an Israeli missile strike on residential areas. Elham was a young mother whose life revolved around love, nurturing, and caring for her three children. Her family was lost in a violent act that harmed both young and old in an instant. Their lives, full of energy and potential, were taken away, leaving a family and a community in mourning. Dear Elham, daughter of Iran, your homeland will always remember you. Your memory, alongside that of your children, will forever be cherished in the hearts of your nation.

Yasin Talashi Ahangar

Yasin Talashi Ahangar, 19 years old and one of the young soldiers of the homeland, was killed in the Zionist regime’s attack on Tehran. His body was returned to his birthplace, the village of Kavan Ahangar in Qaemshahr, where the rice fields and the breeze of the Caspian Sea bore witness to his farewell. Amid the local mourning chants and the tearful voices of Mazandaran’s grieving mothers and fathers, Yasin was laid to rest. He rose from the green north of Iran, a land whose children have always stood for Iran’s honor and whose names recall Iranian heroes. Yasin Talashi Ahangar, soldier of the homeland, your name is now eternal in our memory with the song of the Caspian waves and with the tears and pride of the people of Iran.

Fahimeh Moghimi

Fahimeh Moghimi Vamarzani, a master’s student of Quran and Hadith sciences at the University of Tehran, was killed when Israel targeted her home with missiles to assassinate her scientist husband, Dr. Mostafa Sadati Armaky, regardless of harming neighbors. All members of this family, including Fahimeh’s parents who were visiting and her three children—Reyhaneh, Fatemeh, and Ali—were killed. Surely, in her final moments, she felt immense terror for her loved ones... Identifying the bodies required genetic testing. Funeral participants said all coffins were light, as little remained of their bodies. Iran will forever mourn their unique and irreplaceable lives. Daughter of Iran, your homeland will never forget you; it grieves for the lost children of your heart.

Farzaneh Aghaei

Farzaneh Aghaei, a retired nurse and surgical technician, was 51 years old. For more than 20 years she served as head nurse in ophthalmic surgery departments of various hospitals. After retirement, due to her vast knowledge of eye surgery processes, she worked as sales manager in a medical equipment company specializing in ophthalmology. Her knowledge and experience made her a rare and valuable force in both professions. Israel killed her in her own home on Mehnaz Street, Tehran, while she was on a phone call with a colleague. She was buried in section 42 of Behesht Zahra. Her colleagues remember her for her experience, kindness, and patriotism. Iran cherishes her for her unmatched skill. Daughter of Iran, rest in the grateful soil of your homeland. Your nation will not forget that you were one of the pillars of its society.

Farzaneh Javaherian

Farzaneh Javaherian, a 64-year-old Iranian citizen, was killed in her home on Saboonchi Street during Israel’s attack on residential areas. In the photo that remains of her, she looks very young and beautiful. Iran will always remember her this way. Daughter of Iran, jewel of Iran whose breath was taken away. Rest in your nation’s eternal memory. Your absence is a wound on your homeland’s chest.

Fatemeh Esfandani

Fatemeh Esfandani, a mother who devoted her life to raising her children, was killed alongside her three children and son-in-law in Israel’s attack on residential areas of Tehran. Israel martyred her together with her daughter Hosniyeh Jafarabadi and her sons Hossein and Amir Abbas Jafarabadi. She raised her children with love in a home full of hope and a bright future; one became a veterinarian, another an engineer, and the youngest a student passionate about football. In that dreadful moment, when the missiles struck, what did she feel? Surely she first thought of her loved ones, of shielding them with her own body, but the enemy took them all together and destroyed the home built with love. Fatemeh Esfandani, mother of Iran, they took you from us, but your memory of motherhood and love now multiplies in all our hearts.

Ahmad Latifi Rad

Ahmad Latifi Rad had retired from the hard job of truck driving just two months earlier. He wanted to make up for all the years spent on the road. Now, he dreamed of enjoying the peace of his home in Astaneh Ashrafieh and spending time gardening in his small yard. Sadly, that simple dream never came true. Israel killed Ahmad and his wife, Shahrebanoo, during an attack on their neighbors’ home. This horrific act led to the death of over 15 civilians. The target was a nuclear scientist whose relatives lived next door to Ahmad. Dear Ahmad, son of Iran, may you rest in the loving embrace of your homeland. Your country will always remember you.

Fatemeh Mousavi

Fatemeh Mousavi, the Iranian retiree. Under your labor-of-love roof, beside your beloved ones, Israel’s missiles befell you. Their media called it “collateral damage.” Iran knows how essential you all were to our community. Rest in the grateful memory of homeland.

Fatemeh Pouladvand

Fatemeh Pouladvand, the youngest child of her parents, Shah-Dolat and Zabihollah, was the only daughter and last child, surely bringing the spirit of youth and life into the home—a home burdened by the father’s chemical injury and war wounds. She, her parents, and her elder brother Mehdi were among the first martyrs of Israel’s criminal attack on Tehran’s residential areas. It took 49 hours to recover the bodies of Fatemeh and her mother from under the rubble. The hopes and dreams of this young girl, like her radiant smile, were extinguished forever. Only one grieving brother remains, longing for his little sister’s laughter. Beautiful daughter of Iran, your homeland will never forget the light of hope shining in your eyes. Your mourning is Iran’s endless grief.

Fatemeh Sedighi Saber

Fatemeh Sedighi Saber, the young medicine student. In the picture from your family gathering, you are the one sitting in the front and smiling carefreely. Israel killed 12 of you for the crime of having one nuclear scientist in the family.

Fatemeh Siahpoosh

Fatemeh Siahpoosh, a 49-year-old Iranian citizen, was an employee at Evin Prison—neither a soldier nor armed. Her mother had already lost a 14-year-old son in the first imposed war. During the attacks on Tehran, her worried brother asked her not to go to work, but she laughed and said, “I’m not worthy of martyrdom.” Fatemeh was killed in the heinous Evin massacre, alongside dozens of Iranian civilians. Her body was returned to her hometown, Khomein, for burial. Her brother will never forget the endless search through rubble. Her mother recalls her deep concern for the needy—even mentioned in her will. Iran honors the memory of all victims of the Evin war crime.

Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi

Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, Iranian physicist and president of Islamic Azad University, was among the first victims of Israel’s airstrike on Tehran. He and his wife were killed in their residence within a faculty housing complex. Israel carried out this assassination at the cost of killing several other civilians, including children, in the crowded apartment building. Their propaganda machine then worked to dehumanize these civilians and normalize their killing. They also pretended that murdering scientists for serving their nation was somehow different from killing other civilians. Iran mourns each of its oppressed children. Son of Iran, your homeland will not forget that you served your nation with knowledge. At every sunrise over Damavand, Iran pays tribute to you.

Fereshteh Bagheri

Fereshteh Bagheri, journalist and daughter of Commander Mohammad Bagheri and niece of Commander Hassan Bagheri. Her father and uncle were among Iran’s most important military commanders, playing a major role during the war and defense against Iraq’s invasion, admired by the people and the volunteers who went to the frontlines. Fereshteh Bagheri was a journalist, living a simple and modest life, known among those who knew her for kindness and simplicity. We will not forget you, kind daughter of Iran.

Hosnia Jafarabadi

Hosnieh Jafarabadi, you must have had a fondness for little living creatures to choose to become a veterinarian. There was one more semester and your dream would become real. Then Israel’s missiles entered your story… Rest in unfading memory of homeland.

Hadis Fakhari

Hadis Fakhari, mother of Sarvin, young employee of Social Security. How much Sarvin, your little daughter, resembles you. In the photo that remains of you, the way you look, the way you smile, and the way you rest your chin on your hands are alike. Even your fate was alike: both of you were burned by Israel’s missiles. They called you “collateral damage” of their missions. Iran knows how irreplaceable your lives were. Iran mourns the burnt laughter of you, beautiful daughters of Iran.

Hadiseh Mousavi

Hadiseh Mousavi, a 37-year-old Iranian woman. Amid the rubble were scattered marbles, hairpins, and clothes. Signs that your passionate and lively spirit once lived there. It took a week to recover all the bodies. Identifying your parents required genetic testing. From your small family, only a grieving brother remains, while you, your mother, and your father now rest together in a three-level tomb. Daughter of Iran, your homeland mourns your young life. Iran will never forget you, beautiful daughter.

Hamed Saber

Hamed Saber, a 39-year-old employee of the Hormozgan Ports and Maritime Organization, traveled a long way with his small family from Bandar Abbas to his northern hometown, Astaneh Ashrafieh, to attend a family gathering in memory of his martyred nephew, Hamidreza Sedighi Saber. A week earlier, Israel had killed Hamidreza in a failed attempt to assassinate his father, a nuclear scientist. Israel’s killing machine, in another attempt to complete its crime, brutally targeted their mourning ceremony and murdered 12 members of this family. Hamed, his wife Mahsa Ahmari, and their son Milan were among the victims. Then Israel’s propaganda machine tried to justify the illegitimate goal of killing nuclear specialists. Son of Iran, your homeland weeps for the lost happiness of your family. Your homeland will never forget you.

Hamid Moghimi

Hamid Moghimi, a retired employee, had experienced a war many years ago in his life. Now, after all the ups and downs, it was time to enjoy his retirement and watch his grandchildren grow. But Israel martyred him along with his wife and his daughter’s five-member family under the roof built with love and effort. The target of this missile attack was his son-in-law, Dr. Mostafa Sadati Armaky, a nuclear scientist. His three grandchildren, aged 13, 8, and 4, were killed in this crime. All their coffins were very light because little remained of their bodies. Iran will forever cherish the memory of this oppressed family. Son of Iran, rest in the grateful memory of your homeland. Iran will never forget that you were a unique and irreplaceable life.

Hasti Mohammadi

Hasti Mohammadi, the young Iranian philanthropist. You were at Evin prison to post a bail for some inmates convicted of unintentional offences, when Israeli missiles blew up there. It took two days to pull you out. Iran pays tribute to your kind, altruistic heart.

Hossein Jafarabadi

Hossein Jafarabadi, a young Iranian engineer. On his popular social media pages, he shared motivational and spiritual content. Pages that are now silent, because their owner was murdered. Israel, in one of its “precise and targeted” attacks on Tehran’s residential areas, killed him alongside his mother, his young sister, his brother-in-law, and his teenage student brother. Iran mourns each of these precious lives. Son of Iran, rest in the kind heart of your homeland. Iran keeps your dreams and hopes alive.

Kokab Hatami

Kokab Hatami, a retired employee of the Social Security Organization, had completed her working years and made significant contributions to society for many years. Now it was her time to rest and enjoy her leisure time. She could have travelled or spent time with friends. She could have experienced new things. But Israeli missiles killed her, along with her husband, Yousef Ghorbani, and her young daughter, Sahar Ghorbani, in her home, which they had built with effort and love. Their lives ended too soon. Dear Kokab, Daughter of Iran, your homeland will remember how full of life you were and how much you loved living.

Leila Jafarzadeh

Leila Jafarzadeh, young Iranian mother. You had gone to Evin to post bail for your husband when Israeli missiles “symbolically” blew it up. Now your one-year-old child “symbolically” has no mother, and your husband “symbolically” returns to see your absence. You will forever remain in the memory of your homeland, beautiful daughter of Iran.

Alireza Fallah

Alireza Fallah, the 25-year-old conscript of Tehran police’s headquarters. The first explosion didn’t kill you; you stayed to help the wounded. Then Israel’s forces launched the next… Rest forever in the grateful memory of your people.

Mehdi Akbarinasab

Mehdi Akbarinasab, a young electronics engineering student at Iran University of Science and Technology, was martyred in one of Israel’s attacks on residential areas of Tehran. Alongside him, his young wife Hosniyeh, her mother, and her two younger brothers were also killed. Mehdi’s wife was in her final semester of veterinary school, and one of her brothers was a 14-year-old teenager. Iran cherishes the memory of them all. Son of Iran, your homeland mourns your small two-person family.

Mahnaz Khoshkerdar

Mehnaz Khoshkerdar was one of five social workers killed in Israel’s “symbolic” attack on Evin prison. Her job was to follow up on inmates’ leaves and paroles. She and her colleagues, while trying to escape after the first missile strike, were trapped under the collapsing roof and lost their lives. They were part of dozens killed in this criminal attack, which claimed victims among guards, prison staff, inmates, and inmates’ families. Iran honors the memory of all of them.

Mahsa Ahmari

Mahsa Ahmari, a PhD student in psychology at Tabriz University, was on the verge of defending her dissertation. She was also an invited lecturer in psychology at Hormozgan University. Mahsa and her husband Hamed Saber had gone to Hamed’s family home in Astaneh Ashrafieh to attend the mourning ceremony for Hamidreza, Hamed’s 17-year-old nephew. On the night when the grieving Saber family gathered, Israel’s killing machine once again moved to assassinate Dr. Mohammadreza Sedighi Saber, a nuclear physicist. In this attack, Mahsa, her husband Hamed, and their 7-year-old son Milan, along with fourteen others, were killed. Their only “crime” was being relatives of a man whose survival Israel could not tolerate.

Mansour Askari

Mansour Askari was a nuclear physicist and a faculty member at Imam Hossein University. He was killed along with his wife, daughter, and 3-year-old grandchild. This tragic loss left deep sorrow in the hearts of the Iranian people. Dear Mansour, son of Iran, we will never forget how hard you worked to help your country.

Mansoure Haji Salem

Mansoureh Haji Salem was the wife of Dr. Isar Tabatabaei, a nuclear scientist. To eliminate her husband, Israel had no hesitation in targeting their home among several other apartments and committing the massacre of civilians. A photo remains of Mansoureh and her husband by the sea, with Isar’s arm around her shoulder as both smile peacefully. Iran will forever remember this young and loving couple in this way. Daughter of Iran, your homeland will never forget you

Mehrān Monavari

Mehrān Monavari, a conscript soldier of the Navy, was martyred in the Zionist regime’s missile attack on Bandar Abbas. He was born in 2001 near the Caspian Sea (Sang-Bijar village, Someh Sara) and on June 22, 2025, near the Persian Gulf, he ascended to the heavens; from sea to sea, his short life unfolded. Mehrān Monavari was from the land of Mirza Kuchak Khan Jangali and the warriors of Gilan; a young man of the 2000s with a thousand dreams, with visions as vast as the northern rice fields and the waves of the sea. But Israel took him from his homeland and family before his dreams could blossom. Son of Iran, soldier of the homeland, you are an eternal legacy for this land. Your name will remain in the collective memory of your nation.

Dr. Maryam Hejari

Dr. Maryam Hejari, Iranian dentist. To assassinate your physicist husband, Dr. Abdolhamid Minouchahr, Israel’s war machine had no shame in targeting your home and killing you with him. Then came their propaganda machine, claiming you were not “ordinary citizens.” No, you were not ordinary; you were a health professional educated at the cost of a nation; you were a pillar of your society’s public health; for your patients and for your community, your presence was essential. Rest in the grateful memory of your homeland, daughter of Iran.

Maryam Minaei

Maryam Minaei, the 29-year-old mother. People say women become innocent again after giving birth. In your pictures after childbirth, you look so angel-like. Israel killed you in its attack on Tehran. Now your injured 2-year-old boy misses your soothing presence.

Marzieh Asgari

Dr. Marzieh Askari, pediatrician and associate professor of neonatology, was killed by Israel during the bombing of residential areas. She had devoted her life to the care and well-being of infants. Her expertise and compassion helped bring life into the world. On that tragic day, she, her 3-year-old daughter, her mother, and her father were brutally killed. Dear Marzieh, daughter of Iran, your homeland will never forget you. You will be remembered for your great contribution to your nation.

Masoumeh Azimi

Masoumeh Azimi, as a media employee, you should have been immune in any war. But Israel’s way of fighting was never in line with any norm or law. With their missiles they targeted residential areas, attacked ambulances, and blew up television buildings, killing you, a simple secretariat worker. Now their media lies to devalue your lost lives. Iran knows how unique and irreplaceable each of you were. Your homeland will never forget you, child of Iran.

Masoumeh Pirhadi

Masoumeh Pirhadi, an Iranian citizen and mother of a teenage daughter and a young son. Israel killed her during its attack on residential areas in Tehran, leaving her children to taste the bitter pain of motherlessness far too soon. If you gaze at her photo, in the depth of her kind eyes you see sorrow and worry, as if from beneath the soil she still thinks of the fate of her children. Her broken body was returned to her birthplace, Borujerd, to be buried among the lamenting women of Lorestan, who for centuries have turned the funerary rites of martyrs into symbols of steadfast will and unshakable resistance. Daughter of Iran, your absence is a wound on the heart of the homeland. Rest in the soil that loved your motherland. With every sunrise over the snow-covered peaks of Zagros, Iran will remember your caring, anxious eyes.

Masoumeh Shahriari

Masoumeh Shahriari, mother of Parham and Parnia Abbasi and wife of Parviz Abbasi, retired employee of Bank Melli. After a lifetime of work and raising two beautiful children, it was finally time to enjoy life; perhaps tending to flowers, perhaps traveling, but Israel killed you. Israel’s missiles stole your middle age and your husband’s, just as they stole the youth of your children. We wept with your daughter Parnia’s poems and in memory of the youth lost of her and Parham. Iran cries for you.

Masoumeh Yusefi

Masoumeh Yousefi, retired employee of Payam Noor University. She studied law and biology at the undergraduate level and marine fish at the master’s level. After years of study, work, and raising children, it was time to rest and enjoy her grandchildren. But Israel targeted her home with a bunker-busting bomb and killed her along with her family. The aim of this crime was the assassination of her husband, Dr. Mansour Askari. Her young daughter Marzieh was a neonatologist, and her little granddaughter Zahra Barzegar was only 3 years old. Israel’s propaganda and media operations tried with lies and malice to justify the massacre of this scientist’s family and his assassination, which cost the lives of his family and neighbors. Iran will forever cherish the memory of this oppressed family and these martyrs devoted to science.

Mehrangiz Imenpour

Mehrangiz Imenpour, the Iranian painter. You were walking around your house when Israel’s missiles, on their way to “deliver freedom to Iranians,” found and killed you. You were the beauty of your children’s life. Now, their life is so faded without you.

Mehrnoosh HajiSoltani

Mehrnoosh Haji-Soltani, young flight attendant of Mahan Airlines. What a beautiful, warm, and reassuring smile you had. Surely, in the midst of turbulent flights, you calmed many anxious passengers with that smile. In the final moments of your life, when the blast wave engulfed your young body, who was there to hold your hand and assure you not to fear? Israel and the media and those who whitewash for it dismissed your death. They said you were not an “ordinary citizen”; they said your death was a price to be paid. Your homeland knows that with all your simple beauty, you were unique and irreplaceable. With every glance at the blue sky, Iran will remember you. We will not forget you, beautiful daughter, daughter of Iran.

Mohaddeseh Aghdasi

Mohaddeseh Aghdasi, an Iranian student. That night, everything in your home was ordinary. You, your brother, and your father were playing and laughing, like any ordinary family. Your mother, like any ordinary person who is unwell, was resting in another room. The only unusual thing was the Israeli missiles that intruded uninvited and abruptly into your home... What remained were scattered pages and broken glass; what remained was your mother, from whom they took all the light of her life in a second... They want you to be a number. They fear the resonance of your names. Iran will tirelessly repeat your names.

Mohammadreza Zakerian Amiri

Mohammadreza Zakerian Amiri, a brilliant expert in advanced technologies, was martyred alongside his wife and two young children. By firing missiles at the home of this young scientist born in the 1990s, Israel sought to show how much it fears the future and technological progress of this land. He and his family were buried in the Shoayestegan Martyrs Cemetery in Amir Kala, Babol. He had been known since childhood for his sharp intellect and deep love of science. The Israelis targeted his creative mind and killed his little children with him. Mohammadreza Zakerian, son of Iran’s science. From now on, every young Iranian scientist will be another Mohammadreza, raising Iran’s flag of honor. Your name is forever eternal in our memory.

Amirali Karbakhsh

Amirali Karbakhsh Ravari, a conscript soldier from Kerman, was severely wounded in the Zionist regime’s attack on a military base in Yazd and finally ascended on Ashura. In his sun-kissed face one could see the warmth of the desert sun and the nobility of Kerman’s people; a simple, patient young man rooted in soil that has repeatedly offered its children for Iran’s defense. Amirali was still at the beginning of youth, with dreams spread before him like the vast plains of Kerman, but Israel took away all his future and hopes. His body, heir to all the heroes of Kerman, now rests in peace, but his memory and name remain eternal in the collective memory of his compatriots. Soldier of the homeland, son of Iran, you are gone, but the image of your calm and dignified face will remain in minds.

Mojtaba Mohammadpour

Mojtaba Mohammadpour, a young father from Astaneh Ashrafieh, and his wife had finally, after years of waiting, welcomed a beautiful baby daughter just five months earlier. That night, Mojtaba was only a few steps away from his small home, his young wife, and sweet daughter. Israel killed him during an attack on a neighbor’s house, the target being the assassination of a nuclear scientist. His wife, waiting by the window, saw with her own eyes the shrapnel strike his car. She rushed down to check his pulse and hand him over to an ambulance, but the nurses could do nothing. Mojtaba’s mother, who until recently recited Surah Yasin daily as a vow for her son to have a child, now recites Surah Yasin every day at his grave. Son of Iran, your homeland will not forget what a unique soul you were. Rest in the kind embrace of Iran.

Mona Bakouei

Mona Bakooi, wife of Ali Bakooi and mother of Yasmin and Armin Bakooi. To assassinate her scientist husband, Israel’s missiles targeted their home. The firefighter who searched the ruins for their bodies was Mokhtar Bakooi, Mona’s brother. He had to face the headless bodies of his sister and brother-in-law, while the shattered remains of Yasmin and Armin were found days later, far from the main blast site. Identifying Yasmin required genetic testing. Mona’s “crime” was marrying a man who chose science as his profession. She was targeted under her own roof, beside her dearest ones. Daughter of Iran, your homeland honors your name.

Mousa Saber

Mousa Saber, a man from Bazkiagorab in Lahijan. His calm and dignified face was full of paternal kindness. He was killed with his family in Astaneh Ashrafieh. Israel wanted to assassinate the family’s scientist son-in-law, but to reach him on the morning of June 24, Mousa Saber, his wife, three children, and four innocent grandchildren were sacrificed. The “most moral army in the world” had no hesitation in spilling the blood of 16 people. A civilian man, in the home built by a lifetime of honorable work, was struck by Israel’s ruthless missiles alongside three generations of his family. In your final moments, what passed through your mind? What was the last image you saw? Which family member was your last concern to save? Kind and patient father of Iran, you live forever in our hearts with pride.

Nahid Ansari

Nahid Ansari was a physician and mother of two teenagers. COVID took her husband, leaving her as the only pillar of her small family and the refuge of her children. She was killed in Israel’s attack on residential areas in Tehran, making her family even smaller. Her children, who had already mourned their father, now grieve for their unique and kind mother. Nahid’s sister, Dr. Farzaneh Ansari, head of the National Standards Organization of Iran, found a verse by Gheisar Aminpour to express the pain and resilience of her family: “Though we are all yellowed and withered, we have not surrendered to autumn.” This is the voice of all Iranians mourning the martyrs of the second imposed war. Daughter of Iran, treasure of the homeland, your absence is a wound in the heart of your motherland. Rest in the grateful soil of your nation. Your homeland honors your healing and life-giving hands.

Niloufar Ghalehvand

Niloofar Ghalevand, you were such a cheerful and life-appreciating Pilates coach. Those who exercised with your video instructions will miss you and your advice for body-mind harmony. The Israeli missiles killed you and your entire family while sleeping.

Robabeh Azizi

Robabeh Azizi, an Iranian grandmother in her sixties, had already experienced war once. Now it was time to enjoy her old age with her grandchildren. But Israel killed her along with her husband, daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren in her home during a family gathering for Eid al-Ghadir. The aim of this horrific crime was the assassination of her son-in-law, Dr. Mostafa Sadati Armeki, a nuclear physicist. Her young daughter was a master’s student, and her grandchildren were 13, 8, and 4 years old. Israel’s propaganda machine called this family “unusual” to dehumanize them and normalize their deaths, hiding the ugliness of its crime from the world. But we will not forget that they were all #ChildrenofIran. Daughter of Iran, rest in the grateful soil of your homeland. Iran will never forget that with the sacrifice of women like you, its borders remained strong.

Parnia Abbasi

Parnia Abbasi, 25-year-old teacher and poet. Your published poems, full of love and longing, showed your passionate soul. When Israel’s missiles found your family, you became a poem yourself—a poem called “A Bloody Braid on a Pink Pillow.” Iran will whisper your name forever.

Parviz Abbasi

Parviz Abbasi, father of Parnia and Parham and husband of Masoumeh Shahriari, was a retired bank employee. Israel killed him and his family. He was the father of a four-member family who, on the morning of June 13, were killed by an Israeli missile in the Orchid Complex located in Sattarkhan–Shahrara, Tehran. Parviz Abbasi was retired from Bank Melli and his wife was retired from the Ministry of Education. Their children, Parnia (24) and Parham (17), were asleep in their rooms, and the father, who had fallen asleep watching television, was killed along with his wife in one of Israel’s most horrific attacks.

Yasamin Bakouei

Yasamin Bakouei, the young master's student of Sharif University. They first killed you, then claimed your life wasn’t worthwhile. They called you “collateral damage” of your father's murder. But Iran knows how precious you all were. Rest in our memories.

Pourandokht Saadat Nejad

Pourandokht Saadatnejad, a 57-year-old senior expert on judicial crimes at Evin Prison, had studied political science at the University of Tehran. Her relatives described her as kind-hearted, generous, and eager to learn. She was carrying out her usual duties regarding financial crimes when Israel attacked Evin Prison. She, four of her colleagues, and dozens of others, including prisoners and their families, were buried under the rubble in this attack that Israeli propaganda called “symbolic.” Recovering all the victims’ bodies required several days of debris removal. Mrs. Saadatnejad, originally from Talesh, was returned to that beautiful northern city for funeral and burial. #ChildrenofIran, your homeland will never forget you.

Saeed Mousavi

Saeed Mousavi, a 64-year-old retired employee. You had completed your working days; you had given your share to society. Now it was time to rest and enjoy life with your loved ones. Israeli missiles, on their way to “liberate Iranians,” brought rubble, fire, and smoke to you and your small family. Your bodies were missing for days, and when found, they could not be identified without genetic testing. Child of Iran, now rest peacefully beside your dear wife and beautiful daughter. The heart of your homeland will forever be grateful to you.

Sakineh Ebrahimi Varkiani

Sakineh Ebrahimi Varkiani, wife of Major General Mehdi Rabani and mother of Hamed Rabani, was born in the village of Varkian, Damghan. She was martyred in her home along with her husband and son in an Israeli missile attack. They killed her beside her loved ones. Her young son was a student at the University of Tehran. They were killed, and then the propaganda machine tried to portray such crimes as different from the killing of other civilians so that no one would mourn their lost lives. Unaware that in this land, every martyr has countless mourners and relatives among compatriots. Sakineh, daughter of Iran, you and your innocence will never be forgotten. Iran will not forget that women like you, with unmatched strength and patience, were pillars of defending the homeland. Rest in the grateful soil of Iran.

Seyed Gholamabbas Mousavi

Seyed Gholamabbas Mousavi, époux de Seyyedeh Siahgis Mousavi et père d’Armin, 8 ans, gardait un bâtiment de puits sur une terre agricole. Les agents médiatiques israéliens ont nié cela avec arrogance pour banaliser son meurtre et le massacre de sa famille. Lors de l’attaque israélienne contre cette ferme, tous les membres de cette famille ouvrière ont été martyrisés. Une photo reste de Gholamabbas et de son fils, Armin tenant un coquelicot rouge. L’Iran chérira à jamais la mémoire de ces martyrs innocents.

Saeedeh Qashqai Abdi

Saeedeh Qashqai Abdi, a 65-year-old woman, lost her life on June 15 in the missile strike on Mohibi Street in Tehran. Only minutes remained before they were to leave home when, around 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 15, the neighboring building on Mohibi Street was bombarded and their building collapsed. Several days of debris removal were needed to recover all the victims. Identifying some neighbors was impossible without genetic testing. Now she is gone, and her husband is injured—not only in his body but in his heart. Daughter of Iran, your homeland mourns your precious and stolen life. Iran will never forget you.

Tabasom Pak

Tabassom Pak, a 45-year-old Iranian citizen and mother, was killed in her car by the blast wave as she rushed home from work to comfort her 17-year-old daughter during Israel’s attack on Tehran. Her car was found under rubble in an alley near their home. Her name means “smile” in Persian. Iran will always remember her lost, beautiful smile.

Siahgis Mousavi

Siahgis Mousavi was one of the most innocent victims of the Israeli attack. She and her husband Gholamabbas Mousavi were guarding a water well on a farm, and their son Armin lived with them in the small guard hut. They were honorable, hardworking people killed in Israel’s blind strike on a farm in Andimeshk. Then their media tried to justify the crime and portray Israel as precise by spreading absurd lies about the hut and the small farm. How disgraceful it was to kill a child in the arms of his parents, then deploy their agents to whitewash the massacre of this family.

Shahrbanoo PourRamazan

Shahrbanoo Pour-Ramezan was a beloved mother and grandmother. Her sons called her “the best mother in the world.” She and her husband had built extra rooms in their home so their grown children could feel comfortable when visiting. Shahrbanoo and her husband Ahmad were killed in the Israeli attack on the Saber family home. The target was a nuclear scientist. The shattered bodies of this elderly couple were buried in their native village. From the neighboring house, which was the missile’s main target, no intact body was recovered. Israel’s propaganda machine labeled the victims of this horrific crime as “human shields” to downplay their deaths. Daughter of Iran, your homeland will never forget how life-giving, kind, and nurturing you were. Your absence is a wound on the chest of the nation. Rest in the gentle soil of Iran.

Yousef Ghorbani

Yousef Ghorbani and his wife, Kokab Hatami, both retired from the Social Security Health Department, were killed along with their young daughter Sahar in their home in Tehran. Their only “crime” was being neighbors to Dr. Minouchehr, an Iranian nuclear scientist. Yousef and his wife had completed their years of service and given their share to society. It was time to rest after a lifetime of effort. Israeli missiles left their life story unfinished. Son of Iran, your homeland honors your sincere service. Rest in the kind memory of Iran.

Zahra Ebadi

Zahra Ebadi, a social worker who spent years advocating for prisoners’ freedom, was killed with her young son Mehrad during Israel’s attack on Evin Prison. She had waited years for this child, and Mehrad was her only child. Both were civilians and died in the Israeli strike. Zahra was devoted to justice—and Israel killed her.

Shirin Esmaeili

Shirin Esmaeili, a support staff member at Evin Prison, was one of dozens of civilians killed in Israel’s missile strike on the prison. The attack claimed the lives of administrative staff, guards, prisoners, their families, and neighborhood residents. Shirin loved painting, and the canvases she left behind remain unfinished—just like her life. Her husband said, “Her name was Shirin, and she made every moment of my life sweet.” Iran honors the lives lost in this crime.

Sona Haghighi

Sona Haghighi, a dedicated bank employee and kind mother, was martyred alongside her 11-year-old son, Soheil Katouli, in Israel’s missile strike on residential areas of Tehran. Sona worked for years with discipline and perseverance, and after her martyrdom, her colleagues renamed the branch in her honor. Soheil, a child full of creativity and life, was just beginning his journey. His sketchbook remains, filled with drawings—from rain and rainbows to a heart bearing his mother’s name. Israeli missiles took mother and son side by side. Sona and Soheil, Israel took you from us, but your memory lives forever in the soul of our homeland. Israel tried to silence your names, but we revive them daily—in every rainbow and every mother’s smile.

Zabihollah Pouladvand

Zabihollah Pouladvand was a chemical warfare veteran. For years, he lived with an oxygen mask and relied on the devoted care of his wife and children for daily needs. He had once bravely faced war and sacrificed everything for his homeland. During the injury that led to his lifelong disability, he was in a coma for five months. In one of its attacks on residential areas of Tehran, Israel killed him, his wife Shahdoulat Ghaed Rahmati, and their two children, Fatemeh and Mahdi, while they were asleep at home. Mahdi was a member of Iran’s national youth equestrian team. Their other son, Ali, who lived nearby, woke up to the explosion and rushed to the scene to find his parents’ home destroyed.

Zohreh Sadat Hosseini

Zohreh Sadat Hosseini, an Evin Prison employee and geography expert, worked in the prison’s employment and vocational training unit to help inmates reintegrate into society after serving their sentences. When Israel attacked the prison, she and her husband—also a prison employee—were trapped under rubble. Her husband struggled from the visitation hall to reach her station and pull her lifeless body out with his own hands. In this attack, which Israel’s propaganda called “symbolic,” dozens were killed, including prison staff, inmates, their families, and neighborhood residents. Iran cherishes the memory of them all.

Zahra Choobini

Zahra Choubini, a young and hardworking financial accounting student at Vali-Asr Girls’ College in Tehran, was on her usual way home when she was struck in Tajrish Square by Israel’s so-called “precise” missiles—amid innocent, unsuspecting pedestrians and drivers. Israel’s propaganda machine first denied, then tried to normalize this blatant war crime. Iran will forever cherish the memory of Zahra and all innocent victims of this attack.

Zahra Saber

In Zahra Saber’s eyes, one could see the kindness and concern of all Iranian mothers. Two days before her martyrdom, Israeli missiles took her young son. She had said, “Thank God my son didn’t suffer when he was martyred. He was a trust from God, and God took him back.” The missiles aimed at assassinating her scientist husband didn’t spare her, her son, daughters, or other family members in Astaneh Ashrafieh. Two days later, Zahra joined her son with her other children, reuniting in another world. Zahra Saber, daughter of Iran, your absence will always be remembered. You will not be forgotten. Your love and kindness live on in every Iranian mother, guarding this homeland with maternal care.

Zeinab Nabizadeh

Zeinab Nabizadeh, the young Iranian teacher. Having two little kids at home and waking up to see Israeli missiles as uninvited guests—what horror you must have felt in your final breath! The classroom, the benches, and the whiteboard will miss you. Rest in our memory.

Dr. Zohreh Rasouli

Dr. Zohreh Rasouli, mother of Rayan and Kian Ghasemian, wife of engineer Behnam Ghasemian, an obstetrician. You helped many tiny lives come into the world. You comforted countless mothers in the tearful and joyful moments of childbirth. But you and your little family left this world in unbearable pain. You, your husband, five-year-old Kian, and two-month-old Rayan were all burned and lost one by one in the fire of Israeli missiles. Your students say the title “professor” truly suited you. Your patients will miss your reassuring smile. The newborns welcomed by your kind hands will know your story. Daughter of Iran, your homeland stands in honor of your life-giving hands. Iran stands in honor of your irreplaceable soul.

Zahra Shamsbakhsh

Najmeh Shams, also known as Zahra Shamsbakhsh, was one of the most innocent victims of Israel’s attack on Iran. She and her family lived next to Dr. Tehranchi’s home, and she was killed in her own house due to the blast of missiles targeting his residence. She was a civil activist—a woman who had written “Woman, Life, Freedom” atop her profile. After her death, Israeli accounts and their allies tried to whitewash the crime and normalize her killing, but Najmeh Shams was far too significant to be forgotten by such campaigns.
