Israel has claimed that Navy Chief Alireza Tangsiri of the Iranian Army’s elite force Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been killed in an airstrike. This strike was carried out on the Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas in which Tangsiri’s death is being claimed.
Israel Defense sources said that the Israeli army IDF was behind Tangsiri’s murder. He said that along with Tangsiri, many of his key associates were also killed in the attack.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz also confirmed Tangsiri’s death. Katz said that Tangsiri had blocked the movement of ships in the Strait of Hormuz and was also directly responsible for the ‘terrorist act’ of laying landmines.
“This is also an important event for our American partners, because it shows that the IDF has helped reopen the Strait of Hormuz,” he said during a review of the situation with security officials.
How powerful was Alireza Tangsiri whom Israel claimed to have killed?
Alireza Tangsiri was one of the most aggressive and fanatical commanders of the IRGC. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei appointed him chief of the IRGC Navy in August 2018. Before this, he had held various important positions in the IRGC Navy.
They operated in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. iran Worked to create and strengthen the maritime dominance of India. He constantly used to say that Iran has complete control over the Strait of Hormuz and if necessary, they can close it. The Strait of Hormuz is an important sea route for global energy supply through which the Gulf countries supply their oil and gas. About 20-30% of the world’s oil supply passes through here.
In recent years, Tangsiri warned the ships of American and its allies that no ship would be able to pass through Hormuz without Iran’s permission. He claimed 24-hour surveillance of the area through IRGC speedboats, missiles, drones and submarines.
America had declared him a global terrorist
America had declared him a Specially Designated Global Terrorist and imposed sanctions in 2019. He later faced further sanctions due to his role in companies involved in drone development. He used to openly give statements against America and Israel. During the war, he recently claimed that the IRGC Navy had carried out missile and drone attacks on American-Israeli air bases.
Last week he threatened to retaliate against American bases in the region. He warned citizens and employees to stay away from these areas.
Then Tangsiri had said, ‘Our target list has been updated. US-linked oil bases are now equivalent to US military bases and will be attacked with full force.
Tangsiri was a symbol of Iran’s war strategy which is fought with small boats and automatic drones. He relied on continuous and forceful attacks. His death, as is being claimed, could prove to be a major turning point in the Iran-Israel conflict, as the Strait of Hormuz is considered Iran’s biggest strategic strength.
