Claim 1: “"The ending of the Iranian nuclear program is a different matter, and that’s what still needs to be achieved"”

CORROBORATED

Multiple sources confirm Wright's position that ending the nuclear program is a primary, ongoing challenge. One source explicitly quotes him saying 'Ending the Iran nuclear program is a tough challenge' and another states the US 'will not accept a nuclear-armed Iran,' corroborating the sentiment that this goal has not yet been achieved.

Claim 3: “The United States admits that the issue of Iran’s nuclear program cannot be resolved through negotiations, US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright said on CBS News.”

DISPUTED

The claim states that Chris Wright said the issue 'cannot be resolved through negotiations.' However, the provided evidence directly contradicts this: one web search result explicitly states that Wright 'expected Iran to respond “very soon” to the latest US peace proposal,' indicating that negotiations are actively occurring and expected to yield results.
