Trump Announces US-Iran Meeting in Doha Amid Conflicting Reports from TehranPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump announced that Iran requested a meeting scheduled for Tuesday in Doha, Qatar, involving US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to discuss a fragile interim agreement. However, Iranian officials, including Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, denied that any technical talks or meetings were formally scheduled this week. The talks aim to preserve a ceasefire amid recent hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz, with both sides exchanging attacks and concerns over frozen Iranian assets being released by Qatar.
