Mehdi Khalili was a 22-year-old resident of Vavan, Eslamshahr, who lost his life during the protest movements in January 2026. On the night of January 8, around 9:00 PM, he contacted his family to tell them he was in the Vavan area. Shortly after that call, he disappeared and his phone became unreachable, prompting an agonizing search by his loved ones. For three days, his family searched everywhere for news of his whereabouts. On January 11, their search ended at the Kahrizak morgue, where they identified Mehdi's body. It was revealed that he had been killed by direct gunfire from security forces, having sustained two gunshot wounds: one to his thigh and a fatal shot to his heart.
