SAEDNEWS: Today, in a poignant ceremony devoid of its bearer, only a single hand draped in Iran’s flag will be laid to rest—an emblem of a son lost to war and a mother’s shattered hopes.
According to Saed News, Ali was an unassuming 28‑year‑old Pasdar whose only “offense” was defending his homeland. On that fateful morning, he kissed his mother’s hand goodbye—she had been preparing for his imminent engagement—never imagining she would soon receive word that his workplace had been struck by Israeli drones. Amidst the rubble and bloodshed, no trace of Ali remained save for one severed hand.
The funeral procession, held today, featured only that lone hand wrapped in a blood‑stained national flag. As mourners followed the small cortege through silent streets, grief hung heavy in the air. Witnesses describe the scene: children fell silent, men bowed their heads, and mothers wept for the son they would never see again.
Military regulations and international outcry surround the incident: many question how a professional armed force could permit such targeting. Yet for Ali’s mother, the political debate is secondary to her personal agony. She had envisioned upcoming engagement celebrations; now, she will forever confront a grave with a single, cold relic of her child.
Humanitarian groups have called for full accounting of the attack, demanding the return of all remains. Meanwhile, Iranians across the country are sharing images of today’s farewell—an image of a lone hand and a mother’s enduring love—on social media, turning a family’s private tragedy into a symbol of national mourning.
This ceremony stands as a stark reminder of war’s brutality: sometimes, only a fragment returns home to tell the story.
