TL;DR

Israel killed IRGC Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri in a Bandar Abbas airstrike — the man who ran the Hormuz blockade, the $2M toll, and the 95% shipping collapse.

MSM Perspective

NYT and Jerusalem Post confirmed Katz's statement and the Bandar Abbas strike; Iran has not confirmed Tangsiri's death, and Tasnim initially denied it.

X Perspective

X military accounts are treating the strike as the most consequential targeted killing since Soleimani — the operational brain behind the strait closure is gone.
