If Iran is willing to negotiate with the United States in good faith, then an agreement to end the conflict in the Middle East is possible, U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on Wednesday.


"The President of the United States has told me, and he's told the entire negotiating team ... go and work in good faith to come to an agreement," he said during a visit to Hungary. "That is what he has told us to do. If the Iranians are willing in good faith to work with us, I think we can make an agreement."
