US Secretary of States was trying to assure the Zionist entity over Iran, saying that Washington stands by the side of Israel when it comes to the ongoing nuclear talks with Tehran.

As he threatened Iran of more sanctions if the talks fail, Kerry told the annual conference of pro-Israeli lobby group AIPAC in Washington D.C. that the US approach toward Iran is not “trust and verify” but “verify and verify.”

“Our eyes are wide open. This is not a process that is open-ended,” the top US diplomat said.

However, he also asserted that President Barack Obama is committed to diplomacy warning about repercussions of a military conflict with Iran.

"Those who say strike and hit need to check what might happen after we do that," he said, adding "Only strong diplomacy can justify more forceful options if we will have to use them."

Kerry added that Washington is trying to get a deal that “gets the job done.”

Iran and the six world powers already reached an interim deal in Geneva in November, and their negotiation effort continues. They hope to reach a comprehensive deal in the next one year or so.

The next round of the talks between Iran and the six world powers are to be held in Vienna on March 17.
