Israel Kills Commander of IRGC Navy

Israel announced on March 26 that it had killed the commander of the naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Commodore Alireza Tangsiri, as the Jewish state, along with the United States, continues to wage war against Iran.

"Tonight, the [Israel Defense Forces (IDF)] thwarted, in a precise and lethal operation, the commander of the naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, [Alireza] Tangsiri, along with senior naval command officials," Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said.

"The man who was directly responsible for the terrorist operation of mining and blocking the Strait of Hormuz from [global] shipping, was eliminated and thwarted. This is a clear message to all senior officials of the Iranian terrorist organization, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which currently controls Iran: the IDF will hunt you down and thwart you one by one.
