Biography
Sayyid Mehdi Jaladati was born on 2 Azar 1378 SH (23 November 1999 (CE)), on the night of the birth of Hazrat al-Mahdi (may Allah hasten his reappearance), in Tehran.
Education

Cultural Activities
Jaladati spent his childhood, adolescence, and youth at the Basij of Hazrat Meysam Mosque, located in District 14 of Tehran, and benefited from the school of Imam Ruhollah.
Membership in the IRGC
With the escalation of conflicts in the West Asia region, the raising of the flag of the fight against global terrorism, and the departure of the vast multitude of Defenders of the Holy Shrine to defend the honor of the Shia and the Islamic Republic of Iran, he became interested in military work like many of his friends and took the necessary steps to join the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Finally, in 1400 SH (2021 (CE)), he officially joined the Quds Force of the IRGC and began working in the command office of this force.
Presence in Syria
Jaladati, following the start of the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation and the intensification of the unjust war by the Israeli regime against the oppressed people of Palestine and the special role of the IRGC Quds Force in supporting the Resistance Front, entered Syria on 1 Bahman 1402 SH (21 January 2024 (CE)). He and his comrades, continuing the path of their martyred commander, Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani, became a thorn in the eye of the Israeli regime[1].
Martyrdom

Lifestyle

Fateme Sadat Jaladati, the mother of Martyr Sayyid Mehdi Jaladati, emphasizing that she hopes revenge will be taken from the usurping Zionist regime and Netanyahu the child-killer, and the blood of the Defenders of the Holy Shrine and all oppressed people will be avenged, listing the ethical characteristics of this martyr, said: I have this child from serving the House of God. I was not having children and serving the House of God was suggested to me and my husband, we accepted and made a vow that with this work we would have a child, one year later God gave me Sayyid Mehdi at the peak of infertility. He grew up in the House of God until the age of 9, and this path of faith and piety and growing up as a Basiji strengthened him.
The mother of the youngest martyr of the Iranian consulate in Syria added: Revenge must be taken from the Israeli regime for the blood of the martyrs and the oppressed people of Gaza. Stating that my son had great devotion to Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) and especially Hazrat Zaynab (peace be upon her) and Hazrat Ruqayyah, she said: Ultimately my son had to be martyred near Hazrat Zaynab. His place is empty and I miss him very much but I am satisfied with the path he has taken and I hope that with the reappearance of Imam al-Zaman I will see my Sayyid Mehdi again in the service of Hazrat[3].
The Imam of Meysam Mosque also added in describing the ethical characteristics of Sayyid Mehdi Jaladati: He was one of the youths of Meysam Mosque and raised by the Basij and Mosque, and in fact one foot was at home and the other foot was in the Mosque, Basij and Heyat. And he was among those who, according to Imam Khomeini, traveled a hundred-year path in one night. He continued: He was a youth in the rank of the Islamic Revolution and besides being a computer science student, he was always present at mosque ceremonies and performed whatever task was entrusted to him in the best way. He also referred to the greatest characteristic of this high-ranking martyr, which can be said to be one of the main conditions of martyrdom, and said: The greatest characteristic of Sayyid Mehdi Jaladati was his sincerity; because he considered God in all matters[4].
