WASHINGTON, April 13 (Reuters) - The United States made a lot of progress in talks with Iran, U.S. Vice President JD Vance said in an interview on Fox News' Special Report with Bret Baier on Monday.

Vance, asked whether more talks were coming, said the ball was in Iran's court.

He added that the U.S. expects Iran will make progress on opening the Strait of Hormuz, warning that the negotiation would change if Tehran does not.
