US-Iran relations Nuclear proliferation

He noted that while this goal is most likely to be achieved through negotiation, it is not the only possible method.

“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.

“"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.
