Trump says U.S. and Iran to hold fresh talks in Qatar on Tuesday following weekend clashes
Trump said top U.S. envoys will meet Iranian officials as weekend strikes threaten a fragile 60-day interim accord, while Tehran denies any 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.
- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will attend high-level meetings in Doha this week, with technical discussions held on the sidelines.
- 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.
