Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the assassination of IRGC Navy commander Brigadier General Alireza Tangsiri. In a statement quoted by @manniefabian, Katz said: "The IDF eliminated the commander of the IRGC Navy, the person directly responsible for the terror operation of mining and blocking the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic."
