"We believe we have made significant progress. We believe the Iranians want to reach a deal,"
He noted that he had spoken with Trump, who emphasized that the main issue for the U.S. is that Iran can never be allowed to have nuclear weapons. If that happens, Vance said, the Gulf countries will want their own weapons, followed by other countries around the world.
"We want the number of countries with nuclear weapons to remain small, and that is why Iran cannot have nuclear weapons,"
According to him, the U.S. wants Iran to cooperate with Washington on a process that will ensure the Iranians do not rebuild their nuclear potential in the coming years.
"That is exactly what we are trying to achieve in the negotiations,"
