IRGC denies assassination targeting navy commander

Jan 31, 2026, 12:31 GMT+0

The public relations office of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps denied that its navy commander Alireza Tangsiri had been assassinated.

“The claim originated from an account known as Terror Alarm, which has previously circulated false information on security and military matters,” the IRGC said in a statement issued after a powerful blast struck a residential building in the southern city of Bandar Abbas on Saturday.
