Iran has confirmed that Revolutionary Guards Navy commander Alireza Tangsiri has died from injuries sustained earlier.
In a statement carried by the state news agency IRNA, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said Tangsiri succumbed to “the severity of his injuries.”
Last week, Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz had claimed that Tangsiri was killed along with other officials in what he described as a “precise and lethal operation” by Israeli forces.
