Suncus etruscus or Crocidura caspica
I narrowed down the scientific name to two species, but I couldn’t pick one. By the way, the Etruscan shrew is also called “pygmy white-toothed shrew”.

So tiny and very cute :)
Thanks KarenL, you are absolutely right. It’s a Shrew. It couldn’t be Iranian shrew, as the habitats are different and far away from each other. I think it might be one of these two other species.
This looks more like a shrew than a mouse. Maybe the Iranian shrew (Crocidura susiana)
Omg!!! Thats the cutest thing ive ever seen <3
I know! You can really get lost in the stream. It's crazy!
cute! I was looking for this one. Got lost in the stream of incoming spottings!
