Isar Tabatabai-Koshme, a renowned nuclear scientist, was killed on June 21 along with his wife, Mansoureh Hadji Salem, in their home.

Mostafa Sadati Armaki and his family, including his daughters, aged 8 and 15, and his 5-year-old son, were killed in an Israeli attack.

Ali Bakui, a nuclear scientist from Mazandaran, died on June 15 along with his family in an Israeli attack.
