Iran's powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has sharpened its rhetoric against the US, warning that Washington faces a binary choice between a costly military confrontation and a compromised diplomatic outcome, Al-Jazeera reported.
Citing a statement of state television, Al-Jazeera reported that the IRGC's intelligence unit said “the room for US decision-making has narrowed,” adding that Tehran has set a deadline for the US military to end what it described as a blockade of Iranian ports, though no timeline was specified.
“There is only one way to read this: Donald Trump must choose between an impossible military operation or a bad deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the statement said.
