Iran's IRGC: US must choose between 'impossible military operation' and 'bad deal'

The intelligence unit of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned that Washington's options are narrowing and that it must choose between a "bad deal" and an "impossible military operation".

In a post on X, the unit said Tehran had set a deadline for the US military to lift its blockade on Iranian ports, without specifying a date, and pointed to what it described as a shift in tone towards Washington from China, Russia and Europe.

“There is only one way to read this: Trump must choose between an impossible military operation or a bad deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The room for US decision-making has narrowed,” it said.
