Mehdi Akbari Nasab: A 26-Year-Old Student with a Mind Full of Talent and Hope

In the early hours of Friday, June 13, 2025, the peaceful skies over Karaj—a city just outside Tehran—were shattered by an Israeli airstrike. Among the victims were Mehdi Akbari Nasab, a 26-year-old electrical engineering student at Iran University of Science and Technology, and his young wife(His wife’s name has not yet been mentioned in the media). What should have been an ordinary morning became a day of unimaginable grief.

Originally from Sirjan in Kerman Province, Mehdi had worked tirelessly to build a future in Karaj. He was not just a student but a promising innovator—deeply involved in a cutting-edge ERP software company. He balanced rigorous academic pursuits with practical impact, and he embodied the quiet ambition of Iran’s new generation. He and his wife were just beginning their life together—writing the first pages of a shared future that would never be completed. On the day of their funeral, more than four hundred mourners—friends, classmates, neighbors, and strangers—gathered for the funeral.
