US Vows to Block Iran From Obtaining Nuclear Weapon 'One Way or Another'

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright warned that the United States will prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon “one way or another,” describing Iranian intentions as “absolutely unacceptable.” The statement comes after a second round of talks between US and Iranian officials in Geneva, aimed at avoiding potential US military intervention in Iran. Despite agreeing on “a set of guiding principles” for a potential agreement, differences remain on the US “red lines.” Wright’s warning underscores the US determination to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, while talks continue to find a diplomatic solution.
