Feb 25 (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on Wednesday that President Donald Trump still preferred a diplomatic solution with Iran and that he hoped Iranians took that seriously in their negotiations on Thursday.

"The President has been as crystal clear as he could be, Iran can't have a nuclear weapon... He's going to try to accomplish it diplomatically," Vance told Fox News in an interview.
