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”.
