alireza tangsiri is – actually, was – commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard navy. The guy who oversaw activity on the Strait of Hormuz…until yesterday.
Now he – and, apparently, a bunch of his similarly occupied pals – is not overseeing anything. He is/they are just over.
From an unbylined article at al-jazeera:
An Israeli air strike has killed Alireza Tangsiri, commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps navy, Israel’s defence minister says.
The killing was carried out on Wednesday night “in a precise … operation” and targeted other “senior officers of the naval command”, Israel Katz said on Thursday in a video statement.
“The man who was directly responsible for the terrorist operation of mining and blocking the Strait of Hormuz to shipping was blown up and eliminated,” he said.
Since the start of the United States-Israeli war on Iran on February 28, Israel has announced the assassination of several top Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and security chief Ali Larijani.
Bye-bye alireza. May you and your pals Rest In Pieces.
And may Israel continue to take out the so-called “leadership” of Iran’s terrorist/mass-murdering regime.
I’ll end by pointing out that the replacements who are now running Iran in place of the “leaders” taken out by Israel are not identifying themselves by name.
Do you blame them?
