Xinhua, July 10, 2015 Adjust font size:

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday said some of the tough issues remain unresolved in the ongoing nuclear talks here, saying hard decisions must be taken very soon.

As the deadline of the ongoing nuclear talks approaching, difficult choices are needed to be made by sides involved in the talks for a comprehensive Iranian nuclear deal in the capital city of Austria, Kerry said.

"We are not going to sit at the negotiation table forever," Kerry told reporters after talks with his counterparts at the negotiation table.

"some of the tough issues remain unresolved... We shouldn't get up and leave simply because the clock strikes midnight," Kerry said. Endit
