Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed the killing of Alireza Tangsiri, the naval chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). In a video message delivered in Hebrew, Netanyahu described the operation as another example of cooperation between Israel and the United States. He also stated that Israel continues to carry out powerful strikes against various Iranian targets.

Earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz claimed that Israeli forces conducted an airstrike that killed Tangsiri. Katz said the IRGC commander had played a key role in creating a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz and in laying mines in the area. Netanyahu publicly endorsed his defense minister’s statements, reinforcing Israel’s official position on the incident.

The report, citing BBC as its source, highlights the ongoing Israeli military actions against Iranian interests and the coordination between Israel and the United States in these operations.
