Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) has said that US President Donald Trump must choose between an "impossible" war or a "bad deal" with Iran.
In a post on X on Sunday, the intelligence department of the IRGC said Tehran sent the US military a deadline to end its blockade of Iranian ports.
It added that Europe, China and Russia are adopting a more critical tone towards Washington.
"There is only one way to read this: Trump must choose between an impossible military operation or a bad deal with Iran.”
"The room for US decision-making has narrowed," it said.
The US and Israel launched strikes against Iran on February 28, triggering retaliation from Tehran against Israel, as well as US allies in the Gulf, along with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Since April 13, the US has enforced a naval blockade targeting Iranian maritime traffic in the strategic waterway.
A two-week ceasefire was announced on April 8 through Pakistani mediation, followed by direct talks in Islamabad on April 11, but no agreement was reached on a lasting truce.
Trump later extended the ceasefire without setting a new deadline, following a request from Pakistan.
Iran has set a one-month deadline for negotiations on a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, end a US naval blockade and permanently end the war in Iran and Lebanon.
Tehran submitted a 14-point revised proposal to Washington on Thursday for a framework agreement.
