Alireza Tangsiri, head of Iran’s elite naval force, has been killed, Israel said. He led the naval wing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and played a key role in actions around the Strait of Hormuz. Israel said the strike targeted senior military leadership. There was no immediate confirmation from Iran. Tangsiri was seen as central to Iran’s naval strategy in the Persian Gulf. His reported death could affect Iran’s control over key shipping routes. The Strait of Hormuz is vital for global oil supply. Any change in command may impact security and movement in the region. (PC: India Today)
