On Friday, Kerry said he was "absolutely, totally, and fully engaged" in the ongoing nuclear negotiations between Tehran and the six global powers the US, Russia, Britain, France, China, and Germany, the Associated Press reported.
Upon being discharged from Massachusetts General Hospital, Kerry said he would stay in his nearby Boston home for a few days before travelling to Washington, DC.
He further voiced confidence that a comprehensive deal with Tehran could emerge by the end of June, when a self-imposed deadline would take effect.
"Our team is in Vienna right now working out very complex ... details of this agreement," Kerry said. "It's a tough slog. It's not easy."
The US secretary of state added that he would join the talks later this month as the critical moment approaches.
Kerry underwent a four-hour operation on June 2 after his accident on a regular Tour de France route southeast of Geneva.
