An agreement between the United States and Iran that addresses Iran's nuclear program "for the long term" is nearing fruition, US Vice President JD Vance told CBS News, adding that it could come in the coming weeks or months.

"Right now, I feel that we are in a position to get a deal that is good for the United States economically and that really does deal with the Iranian nuclear program, not just now, not just while Donald Trump is president, but for the long term, to where my kids can say when they're adults, 'Iran is not going to have a nuclear weapon,'" Vance said.

"That's the goal of the policy. And I think we're very close to achieving that goal. But we still got some wood to chop. We're going to keep doing it," he added.
