John Kerry is scheduled to testify before the House Foreign Affairs Committee at 10 a.m. EST (1500 GMT), and before the House Appropriations subcommittee at 2 p.m. EST.

He is expected to face tough questions on a possible nuclear agreement with Iran. Yesterday he faced a skeptical Senate committee.

“The president has made clear — I can’t state this more firmly — the policy is Iran will not get a nuclear weapon,” he told members of a Senate Appropriations subcommittee. “And anybody running around right now, jumping in to say, ‘Well, we don’t like the deal,’ or this or that, doesn’t know what the deal is. There is no deal yet. And I caution people to wait and see what these negotiations produce.”
