Debris from an Iranian missile kills two people in the UAE and oil prices inch back up as the White House touts diplomacy but threatens to 'unleash hell.'
Israel i Defense Minister Israel Katz said Thursday that an Israel i airstrike had killed Alireza Tangsiri, commander of the Iran ian Revolutionary Guards' navy, confirming earlier reports by Israel i media.
'Last night, in a precise and lethal operation, the IDF eliminated the commander of the Revolutionary Guards' navy, Tangsiri, along with senior officers of the naval command,' Katz said in a video statement.'The man who was directly responsible for the terrorist operation of mining and blocking the Strait of Hormuz to shipping was blown up and eliminated.' The IRGC is thought to be largely in charge of Iran's war effort, including the ongoing missile and drone attacks on Gulf states and the drone strikes on commercial vessels that have kept the strait unpassable for most international vessels for the past 26 days. Just two days ago Tangsiri announced that a container ship heading from the Port of Sharjah in the UAE was 'turned back for failing to comply with legal protocols and lacking authorization to transit the Strait of Hormuz.'The attacks on ships notably appear to have stopped over the last week, with the most recent confirmed incident reported by the U.K. military's Maritime Trade Operations center coming on March 19.CBS/AFP
