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."
