Mehdi Jarrahi was a 47-year-old resident of Tehran who lost his life on January 8, 2026, during the protest movements in Iran. He was fatally targeted by security forces at Shah Abdolazim Square in Shahr-e-Rey. He is remembered for a final, selfless act of bravery. Witnessing a young woman being assaulted by Basij members, Jarrahi immediately intervened to protect her. During this confrontation, he was killed by agents of the Islamic Republic. His sacrifice has earned him the title of 'Javidnam' (Eternal Name) among his compatriots. He remains a symbol of courage and solidarity, honored for his willingness to risk his life to defend a fellow citizen in the face of violence.

مهدی جراحی، ۴۷ ساله و اهل تهران، در ۱۸ دی‌ماه ۱۴۰۴ در جریان جنبش‌های اعتراضی هدف قرار گرفت و جان خود را فدا کرد. او در فلکه شاه‌عبدالعظیم واقع در شهرری توسط ماموران جمهوری اسلامی کشته شد. بر اساس گزارش‌های ثبت شده، مهدی جراحی زمانی هدف قرار گرفت که با شجاعتی مثال‌زدنی برای نجات دختری که زیر ضربات نیروهای بسیجی بود، مداخله کرد. او بی‌درنگ برای دفاع از هم‌وطن خود پیش‌قدم شد و در جریان این اقدام فداکارانه جان باخت. یاد او به عنوان «جاویدنام» در آرشیو مبارزات مردم ایران ثبت شده است. فداکاری او در لحظات بحرانی، به نمادی از همبستگی و ایثار تبدیل شده و نام او در میان کسانی که برای آزادی و کرامت انسانی ایستادگی کردند، به نیکی یاد می‌شود.
