US President Donald Trump says Iran has requested a meeting with American representatives to take place on Tuesday in Doha, Qatar. Multiple outlets report that Trump made the announcement publicly, presenting the planned session as part of renewed diplomatic contact between Washington and Tehran.
Several reports also note that Iran disputes the premise. Iran’s foreign ministry is described as denying that any direct negotiations or technical talks between the two countries are planned in Doha. One report says Iranian officials indicate a delegation of the country’s experts would travel to Qatar this week, while maintaining that there will not be a sit-down with the United States.
Other coverage links the announcement to broader regional developments. The meeting is discussed alongside tensions and incidents in the Strait of Hormuz area and ongoing efforts to manage and reduce strain between the sides. One source adds that Iran’s recent talks with Oman on Hormuz follow the US-Iran deal, which includes steps to halt certain attacks.
Overall, sources agree on the existence of competing statements: Trump confirms a Qatar meeting for Tuesday, while Iranian officials deny that US-Iran negotiations are taking place.
