What did Energy Secretary Chris Wright pledge regarding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) replenishment?

Energy Secretary Chris Wright pledged that the U.S. will replenish every barrel of oil released from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, stating: 'We're releasing oil now, and for each barrel we're releasing, we're going to get at least 1.2 barrels of oil back into the reserve. We'll leave it fuller than when we started.'

According to Secretary Wright, what is the stated connection between SPR releases and U.S. policy toward Iran?

According to Secretary Wright, the SPR releases are linked to U.S. efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear bomb, which he said is 'simply essential'—and that this objective is causing 'some short-term disruption' in gasoline prices, though he asserted prices 'will come right back down.'
