The head of the IRGC Navy who directly ordered the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has almost certainly been eliminated in a precision strike.
Alireza Tangsiri, the commander who spearheaded the attempt to choke off global oil shipments, was the target of a joint U.S.-Israeli operation. Fox News reports that battle damage assessment is still underway, but officials believe the strike, based on solid intelligence from both countries, took him out.
HUGE FAFO. Make a deal, or it keeps getting worse.

This is another major blow to the Iranian regime in the wake of Operation Epic Fury. The same man who thought he could shut down one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes just learned the hard way that America and Israel can reach anywhere, anytime.
President Trump reinforced the message moments ago on Truth Social:
“The Iranian negotiators are acting very ‘strange.’ Behind the scenes, they’re ‘begging’ for a deal — which they should be, after being militarily crushed with no real chance of a comeback. Yet publicly, they claim they’re only ‘reviewing’ our proposal. WRONG!!! They need to get serious — FAST. Because once that window closes, there is NO TURNING BACK, and it won’t be pretty.”
Trump is sending a crystal-clear signal: the regime is on borrowed time. They can keep stalling publicly while quietly begging for mercy, or they can face the full weight of continued strikes. The elimination of Tangsiri shows the pressure is working — and the U.S. and Israel are not slowing down.
The mullahs tried to play tough by threatening the Strait of Hormuz. Now one of their top naval commanders is gone, and the regime is left scrambling. This is what maximum pressure looks like in action.
Patriots know the score: weakness gets exploited, strength gets results. Trump and Israel are delivering both.
