Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Deputy Commander Major-General Mostafa Izadi has said the “myth that US military bases provide security is over”, describing US “imperialism” as a “paper tiger” in the country’s war against Iran. Speaking to Iranian media, Izadi said Iran’s armed forces would confront threats at “every level without geographical limitations”. Iran has targeted US military installations hosted by Gulf countries during the conflict, with strikes also hitting energy and other infrastructure in the region. Izadi was promoted to IRGC deputy commander in August 2026, having previously served as commander of the Ground Forces.
