Wrong and right.
It cannot depart with only one engine - right.
But the original comment about ETOPS from the OP, 'Climber314' clearly stated:
With fuel to burn, a jet certified for ETOPS and one good engine, KWI is only 280 miles.
Iran doesn't make my alternate list unless it's a life or death emergency.
so they were clearly referring to the possibility of continuing the flight WITHOUT diverting, rather than the possibility of taking off one engine inop!
