Iran Guards say US options are 'impossible' military operation or 'bad deal'

Tehran: Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Sunday that the United States faced a choice between an "impossible" military operation or a "bad deal" with the Islamic republic.

In a statement carried by state television, the Guards intelligence organisation said that "Trump must choose between 'an impossible operation or a bad deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran'".

It cited what it described as a "shift in tone" from China, Russia, and Europe towards Washington as well as what it called an Iranian "deadline" over the US naval blockade.
