Speaking at a forum in Washington on US foreign policy in the Middle East, Kerry urged patience and said he hopes a deal will be signed in the next 3 or 4 months, before the deadline on June 30, 2015. Sources in Iran said Iran and the P5+1 will hold their next round of talks on Wednesday. The venue for the talks has not been decided.
