Trump says Iran meeting set in Qatar, despite uncertainty - Region - World

On 30 June 2026, Trump said a meeting with Iran was set in Qatar, while Iran denied direct talks. Iran's response, as headlined by the Indian Express, was no negotiation at any level, and Baqaei said the Doha talks will center on a memorandum of understanding, with no separate meeting with the US on the agenda.

US envoys Witkoff and Kushner landed in Qatar, and a Qatari official said they will be there with no meeting with Iran. Al Arabiya cited sources for indirect US-Iran talks in Qatar on Wednesday, and Reuters wrote that uncertainty over the Qatar diplomacy clouds the prospects of a US-Iran deal.
