US Energy Secretary Says Nuclear Agreement With Iran May Not Be Reached
Chris Wright told ABC that negotiations aimed at preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons may not result in a deal, as talks appear stalled amid ongoing US-Israel military action against Iran.
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on Sunday that the United States may not be able to secure a nuclear agreement with Iran that would prevent the country from acquiring nuclear weapons, according to The Guardian.
Speaking on ABC, Wright was asked whether there were any signs that such a deal could be reached. He responded, "There may not be a nuclear agreement," the report said.
The comments come as negotiations between the US and Iran appear stalled, according to the report. The report also noted that the United States and Israel are continuing military action against Iran.
The Guardian's report did not provide further details on the substance or status of the negotiations, nor did it include additional context on the specific terms under discussion.
