The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on ABC’s “This Week” that the Trump administration “may not” reach a nuclear agreement with Iran, saying the alternative could be “simply destroying their capabilities” to obtain a nuclear weapon. Wright said any agreement may have to wait for “a next administration in Iran,” as the U.S.-Iran conflict enters its seventh month and negotiations appear stalled. His remarks came after U.S. forces launched attacks on multiple Iranian ships this weekend and both sides traded fresh strikes at sea.
