Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy, has been killed in an Israeli strike in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas, according to Israeli media reports citing an unnamed official.
The strike, which has not yet been formally acknowledged by either Iran or Israel’s military, marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict across West Asia. Tangsiri was widely seen as a central figure in Iran’s naval strategy and was closely linked to recent efforts to restrict movement through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
