US Energy Secretary: The United States will prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons by any means necessary
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated that the United States will prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons by any means necessary, following indirect negotiations on Iran's nuclear program in Geneva.
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright emphasized the United States' commitment to preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons during a press conference in Paris. He expressed serious concerns regarding Iran's intentions, referencing the clear threats posed by Iran's nuclear ambitions. Wright's comments come in the context of ongoing international negotiations, where concerns over Iran's nuclear program remain a pivotal issue on the global stage.
The indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States were held in Geneva, with Oman acting as the intermediary on Tuesday. Wright noted that the negotiations are crucial as they determine the framework for any potential diplomatic resolution. However, Vice President J. D. Vance mentioned that Iran has not accepted all the conditions set forth by the US for a diplomatic solution, indicating significant challenges ahead in reaching an agreement.
In response, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that Iran is drafting a proposal to advance the negotiations. He indicated that the meetings have established guiding principles that will form the basis of any future agreement. This development suggests a glimmer of hope for diplomatic progress, though entrenched positions on both sides indicate that the road ahead may be fraught with difficulties.
