US Energy Secretary says Persian Gulf allies fear nuclear Iran
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on Friday that Washington’s Persian Gulf allies are “extremely concerned” about the possibility of a nuclear-powered Iran and share the United States’ commitment to preventing that outcome.
While declining to detail specific enforcement tools, Wright warned that the US has the capability to curb Iran’s oil exports.
“I’m not going to talk about the specific methodology of how we stop Iran oil exports, but we can turn the screws on Iran 100%,” he told Reuters.
“We can follow the ships from Iran, we know where they go, we can stop Iran’s export of oil,” he added.
