U.S. President Donald Trump says the United States and Iran have agreed to resume peace talks in Doha, Qatar, following recent clashes in and around the Strait of Hormuz that included tit-for-tat strikes and disruptions to shipping. Trump publicly states that negotiators will meet in Doha on Tuesday, and some reporting indicates the sides also move toward extending a ceasefire after agreeing to halt certain attacks.
However, multiple outlets report conflicting information from Iran. CBS News and The New York Times say Iranian officials and Iran’s senior negotiator deny that a meeting is scheduled for Tuesday in Doha or dispute details of direct U.S.-Iran talks. Deutsche Welle similarly reports that Washington announces new talks but Iran does not confirm them.
Other coverage describes U.S. diplomatic engagement in Qatar, including meetings involving U.S. envoys and Qatari officials, while U.S. and Iranian delegations are said to keep their distance rather than holding direct face-to-face discussions. Reuters-cited reporting also describes technical talks in Doha focused on securing shipping and a longer-term ceasefire, but the specific format and timetable remain contested.
