Hadi Forough, a 43-year-old basketball player, was killed on January 8, 2026, during Iran's Lion & Sun revolutionary wave. He died after being shot to the heart by Islamic Republic forces in the Aryashahr neighborhood of Tehran. His death occurred shortly after his 43rd birthday. Forough was a known figure in the sports community. His killing sparked grief and outrage, highlighting the brutal repression faced by protesters. He is remembered as one of the many lives lost in the struggle for freedom. Hadi Forough is survived by his three-year-old son, Avash. The profound impact of his loss was tragically underscored by a video showing young Avash joyfully calling out "Daddy!" upon seeing his father's image on television, unaware of the devastating reality.

هادی فروغ، بسکتبالیست ۴۳ ساله، در تاریخ ۱۸ دی ۱۴۰۴ (۸ ژانویه ۲۰۲۶) و در جریان خیزش انقلابی شیر و خورشید ایران کشته شد. او اندکی پس از جشن تولد ۴۳ سالگی‌اش، بر اثر شلیک گلوله به قلبش توسط نیروهای جمهوری اسلامی در محله آریاشهر تهران جان باخت. فروغ، که از چهره‌های شناخته‌شده جامعه ورزشی بود، به دلیل شرکت در اعتراضات هدف قرار گرفت. کشته شدن او غم و خشم زیادی را برانگیخت و سرکوب خشونت‌آمیز معترضان را برجسته کرد. او به عنوان یکی از جان‌باختگان راه آزادی به یاد سپرده می‌شود. از هادی فروغ یک پسر سه ساله به نام آوش به یادگار مانده است. تأثیر عمیق این فقدان به طرز تراژیکی در ویدیویی نمایان شد که در آن آوش کوچک با دیدن تصویر پدرش در تلویزیون، با خوشحالی «بابایی!» صدا می‌زد، بی‌خبر از واقعیت غم‌انگیز از دست دادن پدرش.
