According to a report by The Times of Israel, an Israeli official stated that Tangsiri was killed in a strike in the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas. The official further alleged that Tangsiri played a key role in orchestrating the closure of the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil shipping route.
If confirmed, Tangsiri’s death would mark another high-profile assassination of an Iranian leader in recent weeks, as the conflict intensifies. Since February 28, Israel has reportedly carried out a series of targeted strikes against senior Iranian figures. These operations are part of a broader escalation following the outbreak of war that has significantly destabilized the region.
