U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran has requested a meeting that will be held in Qatar on Tuesday (June 30, 2026), despite Tehran denying that any technical talks on the deal aimed at ending the West Asia war were planned.
The announcement came after Iran held its first talks with Oman on managing the Strait of Hormuz since the U.S.-Iran deal was signed, and as Washington and Tehran agreed to halt their attacks, which had strained the agreement.
White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt later told Fox News that U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner “will be flying to Doha for high-level meetings this week”.
“We have not yet entered the stage of negotiating a final agreement,” he said, noting that “over the coming days, we will not have any negotiation meetings with the U.S. side at any level”.
