Witkoff, Rubio brief Congress in first-ever meeting since signing of US-Iran MoU - report

In the United States on 30 June 2026, Steve Witkoff and Marco Rubio briefed Congress on the US-Iran deal, the Jerusalem Post reported, in their first meeting with Congress since the US-Iran memorandum of understanding was signed.

Also on 30 June, Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Doha, Qatar. Qatar said they were meeting mediators, not Iranians, and that meetings between the US and Iran continued without high-level talks. Al Jazeera described indirect talks with an Iranian technical delegation. JD Vance called Iran's denial of the Doha talks a 'Persian negotiating tactic'. Bloomberg reported that the US said Witkoff and Kushner had positive talks, while the Associated Press noted that tensions over Hormuz remained high.
