Israel says it killed Iran's IRGC Navy chief over Hormuz blockade

Israel claims it killed Alireza Tangsiri, head of Iran's IRGC Navy who it says commanded the Strait of Hormuz blockade, and says another IRGC intelligence official Behnam Rezaei was eliminated; Iran has not commented. The US CENTCOM said the death makes the region safer and urged IRGC members to abandon posts, while oil prices rose amid the wider Iran‑Israel war.
