‘No negotiation at any level’: Iran rejects Trump’s claim of talks in Doha

In Qatar on 30 June 2026, US envoys Witkoff and Kushner arrived in Doha for Iran talks whose status was unclear. Trump said an Iran meeting was set in Qatar, but Iran denied direct talks, and a Qatari official told Reuters that Witkoff and Kushner would be in Qatar with no meeting with Iran.

Al Arabiya sources and Bloomberg pointed to indirect talks, with Al Arabiya saying they would be held Wednesday. Reuters wrote that uncertainty over the Qatar diplomacy clouded prospects for a US-Iran deal, and Dawn reported on talks in Qatar after the US-Iran deal.
