  "textContent": "WEB DESK: An Israeli official has claimed that Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri, the high-ranking commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy, has been killed in a targeted strike in the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas.\n\nAccording to _the Economic Times_ , the report, first disclosed by _The Times of Israel_ and Israeli state broadcaster Kan TV, suggests that the veteran commander was the primary target of an aerial bombardment earlier today.\n\nWhile verified footage from the ground shows significant damage to a building in the coastal city, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) have yet to release a formal military communiqué confirming the success of the operation.\n\n## **Strategic blow to Tehran’s maritime power**\n\nIf confirmed, the death of Admiral Tangsiri would represent one of the most consequential assassinations of an Iranian military leader since the 2020 killing of Qasem Soleimani.\n\nHaving led the IRGC’s naval wing since 2018, Tangsiri was the chief architect of Iran’s asymmetric maritime strategy and was instrumental in enforcing the recent \"toll regime\" and blockades across the Strait of Hormuz.\n\nHis reported elimination comes amid the escalating \"Operation True Promise 4\" conflict, which has seen direct and sustained military engagements between Israel, the United States, and Iranian forces.\n\nTehran has remained notably silent following the reports, with state media providing no immediate update on the commander's condition.\n\nThe post Iran’s IRGC navy chief Alireza Tangsiri killed in Israeli strike on Bandar Abbas appeared first on HUM News.",
