US Secretary of State John Kerry said that if Iran fails to comply with the terms of its nuclear deal, the US and the international community will quickly find out and will be able to "respond accordingly with every option available."

WASHINGTON (Sputnik)�� The United States will be immediately informed about�any breach of�the nuclear agreement by�Iran and will not hesitate to�take actions against�Tehran, US Secretary of�State John Kerry said in�a hearing on�Iran Nuclear Agreement on�Tuesday.

�If Iran fails to�comply with�the terms of�our agreement, our intel community, our Energy Department which is responsible for�nuclear weaponry, are absolutely clear that we will quickly know it, and we will be able to�respond accordingly with�every option available to�us today,� Kerry said.

On July 14, Iran and the P5+1 countries comprised of�the United States, Russia, China, France and the United Kingdom plus Germany, reached a comprehensive agreement setting parameters on�Tehran�s nuclear program. The agreement eases international sanctions against�Iran in�return for�the country scaling back its nuclear program and ensuring its peaceful nature.

During the hearing, US Congressman Elliot Engel raise a concern that the Islamic Republic could continue with�its enrichment activities to�create a nuclear bomb.

Kerry underscored the Joint Comprehensive Plan of�Action (JCPOA) developed with�five other nations is set to�close all Iran�s paths to�a nuclear bomb.

�When it comes to�verification and monitoring, there�s absolutely no sunset in�this agreement. Not in�ten years, not in�15 years, not in�20 years, not in�25 years. No sunset ever,� Kerry added.

The US Congress has now less than�60 days to�fully review the nuclear agreement with�Tehran, during�which time US President Barack Obama cannot waive or suspend congressional sanctions against�Iran that are currently in�place. Obama can veto the bill if the deal is rejected, which in�turn can be overridden by�a two-thirds majority in�Congress.
