Martyrdom; The night when seven stars flew into the sky
On the evening of 14 June 2025, Dr. Sadati's residential house in the Narmak district of Tehran was targeted by a bombing attack by the Zionist regime. In this horrific crime, seven members of a family were martyred. This attack, which targeted civilian areas, demonstrated the height of the Zionist usurper regime’s cruelty. The extent of the destruction was such that it took days to find the bodies of the martyrs.
The grandmother of the family, who is herself the child of a martyr of the imposed war, recounts how she heard the news of the martyrdom of her loved ones one by one:
“I was convinced that something had happened… The children were whispering to each other: Mustafa was martyred… I was patient, but the heat was unrelenting: Fahimeh was also martyred… I didn’t have more than a few seconds to mourn for each of them because another name of my loved ones was immediately added to the list: Reyhaneh Sadat… Fatima Sadat… Before they mentioned Seyyed Ali’s name, I intervened: General Soleimani, was I also martyred?!”

Personal life And family
Dr. Sadati was raised in a religious and culturally-rooted family in the village of Ermak, Kashan. He married Fahimeh Moghimi Vamrazani, the daughter of a martyr. His wife was a dedicated teacher who endured the hardships of life so that her husband could become a nuclear scientist and serve his country.
This family was an example of a cohesive, religious, and simple-minded family. Dr. Sadati was very interested in his children's studies and spent a significant portion of his salary buying books for them, believing that the blessing of his salary was in the knowledge and awareness of his children.
Reyhaneh Sadati
Reyhaneh Sadati Ermaki
She was an intelligent girl who studied at the gifted school. She was a firm believer in her hijab and even gave up on school field trips so as not to be forced to put away her veil. She was a memorizer of the Quran and, according to her grandmother, always smelled of heaven.
Fatemeh Sadat
Fatemeh, daughter of martyr Sadati Aramki
was a kind and studious girl whose attachment to her mother, Fahimeh, was well-known. Their grandmother used to say: “I know… until Fatimah’s body is found, Fahimeh will not be found either. Wherever they are, they are together, as always.”
Seyed Ali
Ali Sadati Aramki, son of martyr Mustafa Sadati Aramki
The youngest son of the family, loved General Soleimani and walked around the house and behaved like him, which is why they called him “General Soleimani” of the house. His small and light coffin on the day of the funeral was proof that, like his beloved general, not much remained of his burnt body.
The story of the last night
The night before the incident, the family had gathered at Dr. Sadati’s father’s house to celebrate Eid al-Ghadir. After lunch, Mustafa’s phone rang and he had to go somewhere. The children jokingly told him:
“Dad, don’t be afraid, you’re going to be a martyr too, they summoned you!”
Dr. Sadati replied with a smile, but as he was leaving he said to his wife:
“It’s better not to come to our house tonight. Either stay here or go to your parents’ house.”
That same night, Reyhaneh Sadat asked her grandfather while saying goodbye:
“Dad, now that the door of martyrdom has opened, are you praying for me to become a martyr?!”
And hours later, the news of the house explosion in Narmak stunned everyone.
Scientific and professional activities
After receiving his PhD in nuclear physics, Dr. Sadati worked as a professor at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran and one of the leading scientists in Iran’s nuclear program.
His research focused on sensitive and key areas that played an important role in advancing the country’s technology. He was probably associated with the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran or the Defense Research and Innovation Organization (Sapand), and as an unknown but hardworking scientist, he devoted his life to serving Iran’s scientific and defense goals, away from the media hype. Some unofficial sources have described him as one of the “key elements in the military nuclear program,” although these claims have not been confirmed by official sources.
Reactions and funeral ceremonies
The martyrdom of Dr. Sadati and his family brought a wave of anger and sorrow throughout Iran. The family’s magnificent funeral was held on June 20, 1404, in Plot 42 of Behesht Zahra, with a large attendance of the public, academics, and officials.
The Minister of Science emphasized in a message: “The blood of these martyrs will illuminate the path of Iran’s scientific progress.” On social media, users reacted to the crime with sentences such as “What is the sin of having innocent children?” and “The martyrdom of this family is a shrine that burns the heart of every human being.” The grandmother of the family said with a heartbroken but steadfast heart: “Mostafa’s martyrdom was not far-fetched… Their house has become a killing pit for me.”
The memory of these high-ranking martyrs, especially the innocent children, Reyhaneh Sadat, Fatemeh Sadat, and Seyyed Ali, will forever live in the hearts of the Iranian nation as a testament to the injustice and the price that Iran has paid for its independence and progress.
