Sec. Chris Wright on Hormuz: We Can Open the Strait ‘One Way or the Other,’ But the Best Way Is to End the Conflict

RUSH EXCERPT:
WRIGHT: "I think after a deal is reached, after a deal is reached, it won‘t be in the too distant future. People are ready to go. Ships are there. the United States put through two warships through the straits. We can open it one way or the other. But the best way to do it is to have an end to the conflict. And a defanged and disarmed Iran."

TAPPER: "How soon? How soon will that happen? This week, do you think? Next week."

WRIGHT: "I that‘s probably a reasonable time frame. It‘s not too far away."

TAPPER: "In the next couple of weeks."

WRIGHT: "The starting of the blockade of Iranian oil puts additional pressure on them through the Treasury Department. We‘re also going after their financial tentacles, which are spread all throughout the region and around the world. We‘re turning the heat up on the Iranian leadership now"
