Energy Secretary Scott Wright Says War With Iran Will "Certainly" End In Next Few Weeks
This is San Antonio’s First News on 1200 WOAI: U.S. **Energy Secretary Chris Wright says the war involving the United States, Israel, and Iran is expected to “certainly” come to an end within the next few weeks — and that once it does, global energy supplies should start stabilizing and pressure on gas prices could ease. But he also warned there are no guarantees in war at all. The conflict has shut down key oil transit routes and driven crude prices sharply higher, with markets and consumers feeling the impact at the pump and on inflation. Officials in Tehran, however, continue to resist de‑escalation, underscoring uncertainty about how and when the fighting will actually wind down.

As investigators look into recent violence and possible terror connections, security experts are warning about a growing threat that can be harder to detect — sleeper agents and so-called lone-wolf attackers. These are individuals who may operate independently or remain hidden for years before carrying out an attack, often with little warning to authorities. National Correspondent Rory O'Neill joins us on San Antonio’s First News to explain what intelligence officials are watching for, how these threats develop, and what law enforcement is doing to try to stop attacks before they happen. Stay with San Antonio’s First News as we break down the risks and what it could mean for communities here at home.
