IRGC Intelligence: Washington's Nuclear Options Now Limited

 In May 2026, IRGC intelligence stated that U.S. maneuvering space has shrunk following the expiration of the Pentagon blockade deadline. Spring 2026 reports suggest Trump faces two choices: an impossible operation or an unfavorable deal with Tehran. By mid-May 2026, Washington reportedly accepted Iranian terms as a negotiation basis amidst shifting international stances. Tehran emphasized in 2026 that easing diplomatic pressure imposes a new, complex field reality on the U.S. administration.
