Vance says progress made in US-Iran talks

US Vice President JD Vance said that "some progress" had been made in consultations between the United States and Iran on ending the conflict, Report informs.

"Well, we've had a number of good conversations with the Iranians. I actually just spoke with the president of the United States [Donald Trump]," he told reporters at Joint Base Andrews near Washington. "We've certainly made some progress. We'll see if we can make some more," Vance added.

"The president and I both feel pretty good about the prospects for potentially coming to a negotiated settlement. We're going to keep on working at it," he stressed. At the same time, Vance noted: "The Iranians are always a little unpredictable."
