Israel liquidated the Iranian commander behind the blockade of Hormuz

Israel struck again at the heart of the Iranian military apparatus. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) killed Alireza Tangsiri, head of the Revolutionary Guard Navy, identified as one of the main people responsible for the blockade of the Strait of

Hormuz.

The operation was confirmed by Defense Minister Israel Katz, who stressed that it is a direct blow against the operational structure of the Iranian regime.

A key objective in the Iranian strategy

,

Tangsiri was not a minor actor. He was responsible for carrying out the partial closure of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important maritime routes

in the world.

Since the beginning of the conflict, Iran used its geographical control to restrict the transit of ships.

The blockade particularly affected:

• United States

• Israel

• Allied countries

Meanwhile, it allowed the selective passage of countries such as China and India

.

A precise coup in Bandar Abbas

According to Israeli sources, the attack occurred in the port city of Bandar Abbas, while Tangsiri

was meeting with senior military leaders.

The removal of the commander is part of a larger strategy: to dismantle the Iranian regime's operational capacity in the Persian Gulf.

Katz was blunt: “We will pursue them and eliminate them one by one.”

The Strait of Hormuz, the epicenter of the global crisis The

conflict transformed the Strait of Hormuz into an area of

maximum tension.

Approximately 20% of the world's oil circulates there.

The Iranian blockade generated:

• Drastic drop in maritime traffic Increased

• military risk

• Abrupt rise in the price of crude oil

Mines, drones and attacks on ships Iran deployed an aggressive strategy in

the area. It is estimated that it has nearly 6,000 naval mines

.

In addition, at least 12 vessels were damaged by drone or projectile attacks.

The scenario is reminiscent of historic energy crises, such as the one in 1973.

Immediate impact on international markets

The price of Brent oil reached peaks of nearly $120 per barrel

.

Insurance costs for operating in the area also skyrocketed, with increases of up to $250,000 per trip.

This generated volatility and global concern.

Trump tightens pressure on Iran

President Donald Trump issued a clear ultimatum: reopen the strait or face attacks on

Iranian infrastructure.

The regime's response was to increase the threat. Iran warned that it could attack civilian targets and extend the blockade to other key routes.

A direct message to the Iranian regime

The elimination of Tangsiri is not just a tactical coup. It's a strategic message.

Israel seeks to make clear that it will not allow Iran to control key routes or use oil as a weapon.

Escalation and pressure on the Iranian axis

The conflict is entering a critical phase. The combination of military pressure, economic impact and energy tensions redefines the global scenario

.

Israel and its allies are moving forward to contain a regime that seeks to destabilize international trade.
