Two Israeli officials revealed that then-commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, General Ali Reza Tangsiri, ordered the deployment of naval mines in the Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) of the Strait of Hormuz during the first 72 hours of the war with the US. This escalation followed Iran's announcement to close the strait and threaten tankers attempting to transit. Tangsiri was later killed in an Israeli airstrike.
