Farday-Kerman - Community Group: The chant "Where are you, O martyrs of God, the seekers of the plains of Karbala, where are you, O swift lovers, more flighty than the birds of the air, everyone has left and I am left alone, I am the only one left of my companions" is heard.
Plot 42 of the Behesht Zahra Martyrs' Garden is in a state of mourning. The sound of mourning can be heard in every corner of the area that has recently been designated to house the bodies of the martyrs of the Zionist regime's attacks. 69 graves have been filled and the rest are being filled. From every direction, the sound of continuous wailing, the sound of female mourning comes. At 11 am on June 11, 9 days after the start of the Israeli attacks, the graves of Plot 42 of Behesht Zahra in Tehran are being emptied with shovels and picks by workers at any moment and filled with bodies that may still be warm.
Children and adults, men and women, lying side by side, lifeless, wrapped in shrouds. They are being escorted from the washhouse by special vehicles to the newly dug entrance to Plot 42 of Tehran's Martyrs' Cemetery; with a special ceremony for martyrs, with a coffin wrapped in the Iranian flag. They have been brought from the east and west of Tehran, from the north and south; those who were left under the rubble for the past 10 days, burned, their bodies disintegrated, and their breathing stopped. All are to be buried as martyrs in this plot.
The eyes are red. The photographers present at the scene, who are also war photographers, are in tears, and who can hold back their tears in the face of this grief.
According to Farday Kerman, quoting the Shargh newspaper, reporter Zahra Jafarzadeh continued: Mourners in open-top cars accompany the lifeless body of their loved one to his eternal home, and what a painful moment it is when the eulogist addresses the family and speaks of their loved one; father, mother, sister, brother, and friend who has passed away halfway. The names of the bodies that are to be transferred are listed and read by a person holding a loudspeaker. Every moment a new group is added to that small space that has become a canopy. Here, the sound of crying comes from every direction, the sound of men and women who have fallen on the graves, their shoulders shaking with the intensity of their crying and pain. The entire area is covered in black except for the graves, which are decorated with red, white, and yellow flowers.
Since yesterday morning, there has been a loud sound of mourning from Plot 42 of Behesht Zahra. A banner has been erected at the entrance to the area: “The burial place of the martyrs of the Zionist regime’s attack.” It is a large plot, and according to the official who is guiding the workers, there is plenty of space; “This is a large plot,” he says, pointing in that direction; a large, green field. Every hour, a name is called. They have been brought from the east and west of Tehran, from the north and south; those who were left under the rubble for the past 10 days, burned, their bodies disintegrated, and their breathing stopped. All of them are scheduled to be buried as martyrs in this plot. Several clergymen accompany the coffins of the martyrs to the graves that have been left empty for them, and this entire journey is accompanied by eulogies. Everyone calls out to their loved ones, and this time it is the turn of “Nazdar Moradi” to be buried; a mother whose children are restless; restless without her. As the mother’s body enters the cemetery, the voice of the eulogist is heard: “Hello, dear, full-bodied, hello, martyr of the homeland, hello, holy flower.” Her eyes are red. The photographers present at the scene, who are also war photographers, are in tears, and who can hold back their tears in the face of this mourning.
They gather around Nazdar Moradi’s body: “Look, mother, you can stay. My dear, you are very young.” The eulogist sings and makes everyone cry. The scenes are indescribable.
The family of “Mohammad Hossein Azizi,” an ENT specialist who was martyred in the Tajrish Square explosion on Sunday last week, also buried him yesterday after a week. His wife sits in a corner, speechless. His daughter is not from Iran and was unable to attend her father's funeral. Large and small pictures of the doctor fill his grave; from his youth, from when he received an award, from behind the podium. A little further away, a beloved charity worker is walking and crying. Men are comforting their wives, sisters, and daughters, and the lenses of the photographers' cameras are constantly turning in different directions. What scenes are being recorded, what great grief.
The names of those buried in Plot 42 of Behesht Zahra were read out over the loudspeaker: "Maryam Babaei, Azam Mirzaei, Mohammad Alizadeh, Sona Haghighi and her 11-year-old son, Sohail Katoli, Mehrdad Kia Kazemi, Morteza Abbasi, Hafiz Boustani, Alireza Mousavi, Alireza Akbari, Gholamreza Forghani (Soldier of the Homeland), Parsa Mansour Hezar Jaribi, Amir Ali Khorami, 13 years old, Zahra Choubiri, Maryam Minaei, Seyyed Ali Akbar Saydan, Abbas Nozari Khairabadi, Mohammad Chenari, Parnia Abbasi, Mansoureh Shahriari, Parviz Abbasi, the family of martyr Mohammad Haji Sultan, Nahid Mohammad Rabi'i and Mehrnoush Haji Sultan, Tabesem Pak, Mohammad Ali Balya, Mohammad Hossein Ghasemi, Mohammad Amir Mehdi, Majid Babaei, Hossein Tabi Kaku."

It is past 12 noon and Plot 42 is waiting for another martyr. The workers get to work. Three or four people are clearing the grave. One person goes inside. “The graves are two meters by 70 centimeters,” one of the workers says and starts digging. The picks go up and down and a car approaches. The sound of praise is heard. As of yesterday morning, the head of the Ministry of Health’s information center announced, 400 people have been martyred in the attacks of the past 10 days. Hossein Kermanpour wrote on the X network: “So far, 3,566 people have been injured, of which 2,220 have been discharged from hospitals as of yesterday morning, and 232 people have been treated at the outpatient clinic.” According to him, 54 of the martyrs were women and children, five were medical personnel, and most of the injured and martyrs were civilians.” / A
