The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps has said that the room for “decision-making” has been narrowed for the US in the war with Iran, ISNA reports.

In a statement, the IRGC cited its account of the existing situation, saying, “Iran sets Pentagon a blockade deadline; China, Russia, Europe shift tone against Washington; Trump’s passive letter to the Congress; acceptance of Iran’s negotiating terms”.

“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,” the statement added.
