VIENNA (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has canceled plans to pull back from nuclear talks with Iran.

U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki says Kerry is staying to continue negotiations with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and others at the negotiating table.

U.S. officials had said earlier Friday that Kerry was planning to leave for Paris later in the day and that his plans to return to the talks were uncertain.

The announcement suggests some forward movement in bridging differences less than four days before Monday's deadline for a deal.
