Iranian authorities acknowledged Monday that Revolutionary Guards Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri has died from critical injuries, according to reports from Iranian media citing an official statement from the guards.
Several days earlier on March 26, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz had announced the military action, stating: “In a precise and lethal operation, the IDF eliminated the commander of the IRGC Navy, Tangsiri, along with senior naval command officials.”
The confirmation from Tehran comes after the Israeli official’s public declaration of the targeted strike that killed the high-ranking Iranian military leader and other naval commanders.
