Trump Official Says ‘There May Not Be a 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.
