Tehran, Jun 30: Iran has rejected US President Donald Trump’s claim that Tehran had requested a meeting in Doha, saying there are no planned talks with Washington at any level in the coming days.

Trump had claimed that Iran had sought a meeting following recent tensions and that discussions would take place in Doha, Qatar. The White House also said US officials, including special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, would travel to Doha for talks linked to efforts to maintain a fragile understanding between the two sides.

However, Iran’s Foreign Ministry denied that any direct negotiations with the United States were scheduled. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Tehran had not entered into talks for a final agreement and dismissed reports of an imminent US-Iran meeting.

Iran clarified that it would send a technical delegation to Doha, but said the visit was related to discussions on implementing previous arrangements, including issues surrounding the release of frozen Iranian funds, and was not connected to direct negotiations with American officials.

The conflicting statements have added fresh uncertainty to diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran amid continuing tensions in the region. Both sides have been trying to manage a fragile ceasefire arrangement following recent military escalations, with discussions also linked to regional security and the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

The disagreement over whether a Doha meeting was planned highlights the continued gap between the US and Iranian positions as international efforts continue to prevent further escalation.
