Iran nuclear deal may wait for new leaders

Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated on Sunday that a nuclear agreement with Iran may not be achievable with the current leadership and could be delayed until a future administration takes power in Tehran. Speaking on ABC News' "This Week," Wright indicated that the U.S. strategy might shift from pursuing a diplomatic deal to focusing on military actions aimed at destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities. Wright explained that an agreement might have to await a "next administration in Iran," adding, "We simply don't know that." He suggested that the U.S. objective remains preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and degrading its capacity to develop and deliver such weapons. This approach could involve repeatedly targeting Iranian military and economic assets to prevent Tehran from threatening U.S. forces and commercial shipping. The comments come amid ongoing military confrontations between the United States and Iran. Over the weekend, U.S. forces struck three Iranian oil tankers after Iranian forces reportedly targeted two American Navy warships. U.S.
