IRGC Navy intelligence chief Rezaei killed, Israel says
Israel’s military said Behnam Rezaei, head of the IRGC Navy Intelligence Directorate, was killed alongside commander Alireza Tangsiri in a strike in Bandar Abbas.
The military said it had “eliminated senior commanders of the IRGC Navy,” adding that the operation targeted leadership involved in maritime activities.
It said Rezaei had led naval intelligence efforts for years and was responsible for intelligence collection on regional countries and coordination with other intelligence bodies.
Israel’s defence minister had earlier announced Tangsiri’s death, describing him as a key figure in maritime operations.
