Nuclear Deal on Hold as U.S. Targets Iran | US News

Energy Secretary Chris Wright warns a nuclear deal with Iran may now be delayed until the next administration, as U.S. military action has crippled Tehran’s ability to develop and deliver nuclear weapons — a 47-year mission now nearing its climax. With the conflict entering its seventh month, costing over $37 billion and claiming 18 American lives, diplomacy has stalled and naval clashes have intensified. Recent strikes disabled Iranian oil tankers after missile attacks on U.S. ships, prompting CENTCOM to threaten harsher economic retaliation. Iran denies hitting a U.S. drone. President Trump calls the fighting “small potatoes,” while Wright insists Iran’s military is broken and its regime teetering — with U.S.-escorted oil flows already returning to normal. The U.S. aims to force either regime change or a dramatic policy shift through continued pressure. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
