Top IRGC Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri Killed in Gulf Strike

An Israeli official told local media that a strike in Bandar Abbas, near the Strait of Hormuz, killed IRGC Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri. It remains unclear whether Israel or the US carried out the operation. Tangsiri, who led the IRGC Navy since August 2018, had recently threatened retaliation against US facilities and associated oil installations in the Gulf. He warned civilians and workers to stay away before vowing to target American-linked infrastructure. I’ve maintained from day one that Iran’s military is faltering under sustained pressure. Their senior officers keep being eliminated, while their naval assets are destroyed. Israel and the US are systematically weakening the Iranian regime’s capabilities in the region.
