Secretary of State John Kerry can expect to face questions about Iran and Middle East peace talks when he returns to Capitol Hill next week.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is scheduled to finally hear from America's top diplomat on Tuesday, April 8, about his $46.2 billion FY2015 budget request, after two postponements due to the crisis in Ukraine. This will be Kerry's first appearance since Israeli-Palestinian talks teetered and nuclear talks with Iran resumed.
