WASHINGTON, May 13 (Reuters) - ‌U.S. Vice President JD Vance ⁠said on Wednesday he believes ‌progress is being ‌made in negotiations with Iran to end hostilities, ​after President Donald Trump rejected Tehran's latest ⁠proposal as unacceptable.

"I think that we are ​making progress. The fundamental question is do we ​make enough progress ‌that we satisfy the President's red ⁠line?" Vance told reporters at the White House. "And the ⁠red line is very simple. ​He needs to feel confident that we put a number of ‌protections in place such that Iran ‌will never have a ⁠nuclear weapon."
