جاویدنام مهدی کریمی

30 years old, from Gotvand city (Khuzestan province), killed around 22:30 while fleeing from mercenaries and Islamic Republic forces. His body was not delivered to his family and was eventually buried at 5 AM under severe security conditions with only 5 people present. The family was told he would be declared a martyr if they claimed 'saboteurs' were responsible for his death, but his father, despite being a retired IRGC member, refused this condition.
