Body of missing Iranian female mountaineer found on Mount Damavand

Iranian media, citing the Mazandaran Red Crescent, say the body of Tahereh Haseli, a female mountaineer who had embarked on a solo ascent of Mount Damavand, was discovered Tuesday at an altitude of 4,600 meters on the southern face of the peak.

The recovery was carried out with the assistance of Mazandaran and Amol Red Crescent rescue teams and supported by operational drones and UAVs.

This came after five days of search operations in the area. Specialized mountain rescue teams from the Reyneh base and the Amol branch conducted the search, despite adverse weather conditions and freezing temperatures.

Ms. Haseli attempted a solo ascent of Mount Damavand via the southern route on December 10, 2025, despite safety warnings. She was 50.
