Tehran [Iran], May 4 : The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said that the US has limited choices with regards to the war in Iran.

The IRGC said that the US is losing its support with Russia, China and Europe.

In a post on X, it said, "Iran's Ultimatum Against the Siege to the Pentagon China, Russia, and Europe's Shift in Tone Against Washington Trump's Reactive Letter to Congress Acceptance of Iran's Negotiating Conditions It carries no more than one meaning; Trump must choose between "the impossible operation or a bad deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran." The decision-making space for America has been limited."

Meanwhile, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that European nations have "gotten the message" from US President Donald Trump and are now ensuring that agreements on the use of military bases are being implemented, Al Jazeera reported on Monday.

"Yes, there has been some disappointment from the US side, but Europeans have listened," Rutte told reporters at a European Political Community summit in Armenia, as reported by Al Jazeera.

The comments come as Trump's Project Freedom was launched earlier in the day.

US media outlets The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), CNN and Axios have emphasised Trump's chosen word of "guide" rather than "escort" to describe how his new naval mission will work in the Strait of Hormuz.

Amidst shifting regional dynamics, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar reportedly held a telephonic discussion with his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, to review the prevailing situation in the Middle East. According to Al Arabiya, the conversation focused on the current regional atmosphere and the diplomatic manoeuvres being undertaken by Islamabad.

Meanwhile, the US evacuated 22 crew members held aboard the seized Iranian container ship, 'MV Touska', to Pakistan.

The M/V Touska was captured in the Gulf of Oman last month in an attack that Tehran called an act of "piracy," as per Al Jazeera.
