U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were in Doha, Qatar, to meet Qatari mediators about the U.S.–Iran negotiations. No high‑level meeting between the United States and Iran was scheduled or took place in Doha. Indirect technical talks between United States and Iranian officials were scheduled to be held in Doha on Wednesday. Tehran and Washington agreed to a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to halt the Middle East war, and Qatar’s Prime Minister reaffirmed Qatar’s role as a mediator in the U.S.–Iran negotiations. Iran said it would not meet U.S. envoys and that no direct talks were planned, while talks about unfreezing at least $6 billion of Iranian assets were to recommence in Doha.

Accounts differ on the status of negotiations. One set of reports states that indirect technical talks between United States and Iranian officials were scheduled for Wednesday in Doha, while Iran’s statement that no negotiations were planned asserts that it would not meet U.S. envoys and that no direct talks were planned. Additionally, President Trump announced that U.S. and Iranian officials would meet in Qatar on Tuesday, a claim that conflicts with Iran’s denial of any negotiations.

Al Arabiya described the discussions involving the U.S. envoys as positive. Gulfnews.com reported President Trump’s announcement that U.S. and Iranian officials would meet in Qatar on Tuesday. Gdelt reported that Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi announced the conclusion of talks in Qatar on the implementation of the U.S.–Iran MoU.
