Kerry speaks on Iran nuclear deal after recovery
US Secretary of State John Kerry says fundamental issues of a mutual understanding as well as the 2013 interim agreement over Iran’s nuclear program define a good deal that cannot be changed.
Kerry, who was discharged from hospital on Friday following a bike accident, made the remarks via video-conferencing on Tuesday.
In regard to the allegedly military aspect of Iran’s nuclear program, Kerry said Washington has “absolute knowledge with respect to the certain military activities”.
"It's critical to us to know that going forward, those activities have been stopped, and that we can account for that in a legitimate way," he claimed.
Tehran has time and again stressed the peaceful nature of its nuclear activities.
In addition, the IAEA has also conducted numerous inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence showing that Iran's civilian nuclear program has been diverted to nuclear weapons production.
Iran and the global powers –the US, Russia, Britain, China, France, and Germany -- reached a mutual understanding over Iran’s nuclear program in the Swiss city of Lausanne in early April following months of negotiations.
The countries have since been engaged in negotiations in an effort to ink a high-profile deal by the end of June.
