Some progress" has been made in consultations with Iran on ending the conflict, said US Vice President J. Dee Vance. "We had several good talks with the Iranians. There is no doubt that we have made progress. We'll see if we can earn more," he told reporters at the Andrews base joint. He said he and President Trump feel "pretty good about the prospects" for a negotiated settlement, though he noted that "the Iranians are always a little unpredictable," and that Trump is not ruling out renewed strikes.
