U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry addressed the developing accord with Iran over its nuclear program, saying that while progress has been made in talks between the country and six world powers, "there are gaps that have to be closed," Reuters reports.

"If we didn't think that there was further to go, as (French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius) said, we'd have had an agreement already," Kerry said. "There are things that have to be done to further strengthen this. We know this."
