Wright: US ‘May Not’ Reach Nuclear Agreement with Iran
- On Sunday, Energy Secretary Wright stated on ABC News's This Week that "There may not be a nuclear agreement" with Iran, signaling a potential diplomatic shift as the United States focuses on destroying Iranian nuclear capabilities.
- President Donald Trump claimed Friday that the United States successfully "stopped Iran from having a nuclear weapon," citing this achievement as justification for launching Operation Epic Fury against Tehran.
- Gas prices continue to strain Americans, with AAA reporting an average of $4.15 per gallon on Sunday, up significantly from the $3.19 recorded last year and approaching the 2012 Labor Day record of $3.82.
- Fighting resumed last week in the Strait of Hormuz, where tensions have escalated as warring parties block the waterway used to transport oil supplies, adding regional pressure.
- Wright suggested that any future agreement might await a new Iranian administration, emphasizing that Iran obtaining nuclear weapons would make the Middle East a "wildly different" place for the world.

Donald Trump Is Facing a New Reality: The Iran War Looks It Has No Ending As Bombs Keep Falling All Over the Middle East
Pressure on the White House is arriving from every direction: former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall is asking what advice led the president into the Iran war, calling the quick-collapse expectation an illusion, while Energy Secretary Chris Wright concedes there may never be a nuclear agreement — and that strikes may simply continue whenever Iran rebuilds. A second poll in days finds nearly seven in ten Americans disapprove.
US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright estimated Sunday as unlikely that President Donald Trump's administration would reach a nuclear agreement with Iran and believes that the US could opt instead to destroy Iran's capabilities to develop atomic weapons, capabilities that have already been bombed, but that have not been completely neutralized.
