“A peace agreement between the United States and Iran may be signed within a couple of weeks, US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright said.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim attributes a statement about a peace agreement timeline to 'US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright.' While multiple web search results cite statements from 'Energy Secretary Chris Wright' regarding the end of conflict in weeks, the specific quote or assertion that he stated the agreement 'may be signed within a couple of weeks' is not independently corroborated by multiple distinct sources, nor is the identity/role of the speaker definitively established across all evidence provided. The evidence suggests he made similar statements about the conflict ending in weeks, but the exact claim remains tied to the provided context.
