Top US official says there may not be a nuclear deal with Iran, but ability to build bomb may be destroyed

“There may not be a nuclear agreement. It may be simply destroying their capabilities to do it [build a nuclear bomb]. An agreement may await the next administration in Iran. We simply don’t know that,” Wright tells the ABC news outlet.
