U.S. Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday said "in some ways" the United States' diplomatic talks with Iran went well as both parties agreed to meet afterward.


"The president of the United States is very much trying to find a solution here, whether it's through diplomatic options or through another option, that means the Iranians cannot have a nuclear weapon," Vance said on the Fox News program, 'The Story.'
