  "summary": "Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Deputy Commander, Major-General Mostafa Izadi, has declared the \"myth\" of US bases providing Gulf security to be over, describing US \"imperialism\" as a \"paper tiger\" in a recent statement to Iranian media. Izadi emphasized that Iran's armed forces are prepared to confront threats at \"every level without geographical limitations\" as part of the country's ongoing war against Iran. This assertion comes after Iran has targeted US military installations in Gulf countries during the conflict, as well as infrastructure such as energy facilities. In August 2026, Izadi was promoted to his current role as IRGC deputy commander, succeeding the previous commander who had also overseen ground forces.",
