US to complete Iran nuclear negotiations despite Kerry
Washington remains confident that it can complete the Iran nuclear negotiations by the upcoming June 30th deadline despite US Secretary of State John Kerry’s leg injury that prevented him from participating in key talks over the weekend, White House spokesperson Josh Earnest said during a press briefing on Monday.

"We do continue to believe that we have the time and resources necessary to pursue and hopefully complete the Iran negotiations,” Earnest said adding, however, that he was confident the negotiations will be “affected by the secretary`s injury.”

Earnest said that although it is unlikely that Kerry will be able to meet face to face in Europe with his negotiating partners, the White House was “confident Secretary Kerry will be an important part of this [negotiating] effort.”
