An elite Iranian navy chief who gave the green light to close the Strait of Hormuz has been killed in an airstrike on Thursday, according to a report.
Alireza Tangsiri, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Navy commander, was eliminated in a strike on the Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas, located on the Strait, an Israeli official told the Jerusalem Post.
Neither the Israeli Defense Forces nor the Iranian military has commented on the strike.
Tangsiri’s reported death comes after the assassinations of IRGC spokesperson Ali Mohammad Naini, and the regime’s de-facto leader Ali Larijani, and its anti-protest enforcer Gholamreza Soleimani.
Tangsiri reportedly ordered the Strait of Hormuz – a vital waterway that oversees the shipment of 20 percent of the world’s oil supply – to be shut down and it has effectively remained closed since the start of Operation Epic Fury on Feb. 28.
Oil price volatility over the past four weeks has prompted calls from politicians and energy executives to reopen the Strait. Earlier this week, the price of Brent crude oil was reported to be $100 per barrel.
Tehran has threatened even more disruption, warning it could take control of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait if US forces invade Kharg Island – which is one-third the size of Manhattan and controls 90% of Iranian crude oil exports.

I’m old.
In my 70 years I worked with virtually every nationality on the face of the Earth
I was a Boeing engineer and a
engineer at Keck observatory.
If I have have ever met a Moslem,
I have no recollection of it.
Believe you me, I have worked closely
with people from all over the world.
I suppose most all of them didn’t
know I was a very Christian man.
Y’all don’t need to wear your faith

These are definitely not good jobs 😕
Especially these days 😉
I’m now reading that an entire 8 story building on/ near the coast was destroyed eliminating a meeting of top IRGC navy officers/commanders.
Another meeting? Sounds like a good idea. There is a need to organize more Leadership Learing Conferences in Iran.
