"So when President Trump looked at the trade-offs of going into Iran right now, he knew his sort of beautiful record of just constantly pushing down energy prices, gasoline headline prices as well. But Iran has roughly a thousand pounds of uranium enriched to 60 percent, massively higher than you ever need for any commercial power production. It's actually quite close to weapon-grade uranium."
"This is an administration—the first Trump term and the second Trump term—all about lowering energy prices and an incredibly successful record in doing that. President Trump is absolutely unwilling to hand the next administration a nuclear arm."
Fox News anchor Dana Perino questioned Energy Secretary Chris Wright about rising gas prices resulting from the war in Iran. Wright acknowledged the difficulty but framed it within the Trump administration's broader energy policy goals. He argued that President Trump accepted higher gas prices as a trade-off to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, noting Iran's uranium enrichment at 60 percent—dangerously close to weapon-grade levels. Wright emphasized the administration's commitment to preventing nuclear proliferation over the next administration. Gas prices have risen to approximately $4.56 per gallon from $2.83 in February before the conflict began.
