U.S. Energy Secretary Wright says Iran nuclear deal may never happen (He's Not Wrong)

Key Points

 

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Sunday said the U.S. may not reach an elusive deal to constrain Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, as the U.S.-Iran conflict enters its seventh month.

“There may not be a nuclear agreement. It may be simply destroying their capabilities to do it,” Wright said on ABC News’ “This Week.” “An agreement may await the next administration in Iran. We simply don’t know that.”

Trump has repeatedly said preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon is a central objective of the U.S. campaign. He has also sought a negotiated deal with Iran throughout the war, which has sent energy prices soaring worldwide.

Wright’s comments suggest the administration may pursue its goal of preventing an Iranian nuclear weapon without reaching a negotiated nuclear agreement.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

I saw the headline and my first thought was this is another Enemedia attack on DJT's efforts. But reading past the headline, I think this is an honest explanation of where Trump and the US is going next with regards to Iran.

Who in their right mind ever thought an agreement by Iran to stop doing anything they want to do is worth the paper it is written on? Try once in good faith maybe.

Finish this mess. Some people have enough sense to know to never start a fight you are not willing to execute to death. You may hope for less but you may not get it. A fight requires more than just running your mouth.

An written agreement with Iran isn’t worth the paper its written upon. They don’t honor agreements - never have!

That’s the muzzoid way - agree to anything but the instant you have the advantage stab the other party in the back and kill them. Too many supposed adults still don’t grasp the existential danger of the muzzoids, anymore than they grasp the existential danger of allowing communists of any stripe in your country. JMO

Not unless the Iranian people rise up and hang the Ayatollahs and form a decent government.

“Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that future attacks on Iran would receive a “faster, heavier, and more painful” response.”

and here i thought iran had run out of red lines ... guess not, they seem to have plenty in reserve ...
