President Donald Trump says the United States and Iran will resume peace talks in Doha, Qatar on Tuesday. Trump said Iran requested a meeting in Qatar, following weekend fighting and attacks near the Strait of Hormuz that raised concerns about disrupting a recent ceasefire. Multiple outlets report Trump made the announcement on Monday, including via social media. The reports describe the talks as a continuation of efforts aimed at de-escalating tensions between the two countries.
Bloomberg reports that the resumption comes after both sides agree to halt a series of tit-for-tat attacks. NPR adds that Iran’s position on participation is not confirmed in the reporting, even as Trump indicates the talks will proceed. CNBC similarly states that fresh talks are expected on Tuesday in Qatar’s capital after the weekend clashes.
Taken together, the accounts align on the timing, location, and the immediate context: renewed diplomacy in Doha after hostilities around the Strait of Hormuz and amid an announced pause in attacks.
