Israel says it killed senior Iranian naval commander linked to Hormuz

Israel says it carried out an airstrike that killed Alireza Tangsiri, a commander in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy. Israel claims Tangsiri was linked to Iran's efforts to control shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

In a separate development, reports indicate Iran is formalizing its control over the strategic waterway by implementing a system to monitor and potentially charge ships. The U.S. has responded by deploying additional military forces to the region.
