Armin Teymourirad

Armin Teymourirad was a 19-year-old from Fardis, Karaj, who had been admitted to study electrical engineering and was due to start university in Bahman. Relatives described him as gentle and quiet; after the 2022 Woman, Life, Freedom protests he told family he wanted his name to become “jaavidaneh” (eternal) for the homeland.

On the evening of 9 January 2026 (19 Dey), according to Hengaw and a detailed Iran International family account, Armin was with his father Omid (47), mother, uncle Amir (42), and aunt when security forces opened heavy fire in Fardis. Armin and his father were hit; his mother was wounded by pellets while trying to shield them. Uncle Amir, already pellet-wounded in the leg, tried to drive Armin to a clinic; the car was fired on, Amir was shot in the neck and back, and Armin was hit again in the head and side. Omid died of a heart wound; Armin and Amir also died. Bodies of Omid and Amir were buried on 22 Dey and Armin’s on 23 Dey in an Alborz cemetery.
