A mother of a teenage girl and a young boy, Masoumeh Pirhadi, aged 43, was killed in an alleged Israeli airstrike in Shahid Rajaii town in the residential areas of Tehran, Iran, on Friday, 13 June 2025.
According to the Instagram account @killedbyisrael2025, Masoumeh’s body was returned to her hometown of Boroujerd. She was buried amidst the recitation of the women of Lor, which, according to the Instagram post, represents “those who, over the centuries, have transformed the burial rituals of martyrs into a symbol of the steadfastness of will and the unwaveringness of resistance.” The post contained a stylised photo of the deceased.
According to Shohada-Brj Blog, Masoumeh Pirhadi was born on December 6, 1981, so she was 43 at the time of her death.
In a video on the news outlet Fars News, Masomumeh’s son can be seen playing with the IRGC commander of Lorestan during the deceased’s funeral, attended by other top IRGC members.
Photos on the Instagram account @farhang_pr show the Minister of Culture, Abbas Salehi, hosting families of those killed in the “12-Day War,” in which Masoumeh was also honoured.
