Trump says U.S. and Iran to hold fresh talks in Qatar on Tuesday following weekend clashes
U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are set to attend high-level meetings, while Iran says no talks are scheduled.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump announced Iran requested a meeting in Doha, Qatar, for Tuesday. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi disputed the claim, stating "No technical meetings of the working groups are planned for this week."
- Following the June 17 memorandum of understanding aimed at halting hostilities and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, the fragile ceasefire faced threats this weekend after the U.S. and Iran exchanged military strikes.
- Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian claimed Monday that Qatar will release $6 billion in frozen assets as part of the interim deal. U.S. officials have not confirmed the release of any Iranian funds.

- The weekend exchanges risk derailing the 60-day framework for broader negotiations between the two nations. Both now face a critical choice between de-escalation or continuing a dangerous shadow war over the Strait of Hormuz.
