In a series of statements, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright has indicated that the potential for a nuclear agreement with Iran is highly uncertain, suggesting it may never materialize. As tensions escalate between the U.S. and Iran, Wright described the current situation as a conflict and noted that military support in the strategic Strait of Hormuz may be necessary. He acknowledged that the prospect of an Iran nuclear deal could be delayed until the next administration in Tehran, while also asserting that the U.S. is open to negotiations. However, he reiterated concerns that an agreement may not happen anytime soon, raising the possibility of ongoing tensions in the region.
