Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri was targeted and killed in an Israeli attack, Israel’s<\/a> Defense Minister Israel Katz has noted.<\/p>\n

“Tonight, in a precise and lethal operation, the IDF eliminated the Commander of the IRGC Navy, Tangsiri, along with senior members of the naval command,” Katz noted, according to a translation from Hebrew. “The man who was directly responsible for the terrorist act of mining and blocking the Strait of Hormuz to navigation has been targeted and eliminated.”<\/p>\n

“This is a clear message to all senior officials of the Iranian IRGC terror organization currently ruling Iran: The IDF will hunt and eliminate you one by one.\u00a0I congratulate the IDF on a perfect execution,” Katz indicated. “This is also significant news for our American partners, as an expression of the IDF’s assistance in reopening the Strait of Hormuz and the historic partnership between U.S. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and between our two countries and two armies.”<\/p>\n

The strike was executed based on American and Israeli intelligence, a senior Israeli official indicated to Fox News.<\/p>\n

“The head of Iran\u2019s<\/a> Revolutionary Guard Navy, Alireza Tangsiri, who directly commanded the closure of the Strait of Hormuz \u2014 one of the world\u2019s most critical energy chokepoints \u2014 was targeted in a strike overnight, along with his senior operational leadership, including intelligence and operations chiefs, at a covert naval command center,” the official noted. “This targeted strike was based on U.S. and Israeli intelligence and continues to demonstrate how deeply it is capable of penetrating.”<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump<\/a> launched the controversial war against Iran in conjunction with Israel nearly four weeks ago.<\/p>\n

“The Iranian negotiators are very different and \u2018strange.\u2019 They are \u2018begging\u2019 us to make a deal, which they should be doing since they have been militarily obliterated, with zero chance of a comeback, and yet they publicly state that they are only \u2018looking at our proposal.\u2019 WRONG!!!” Trump declared in a Thursday morning Truth Social post<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“They better get serious soon, before it is too late, because once that happens, there is NO TURNING BACK, and it won\u2019t be pretty!” he warned.<\/p>\n
