Trump says meeting with Iran will take place in Doha Tuesday
By Aileen Graef
US President Donald Trump said the US will meet with Iran in Doha on Tuesday.
“IRAN HAS REQUESTED A MEETING. IT WILL TAKE PLACE TOMORROW IN DOHA!” he posted on Truth Social early Monday.
Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s chief negotiator, had previously told reporters that no technical working group meetings have been scheduled for this week.
A senior US official, meanwhile, told CNN yesterday that technical talks regarding the memorandum of understanding were “on track” as planned despite a recent exchange of fire.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Fox News shortly after the president’s post to say there will be high-level talks with technical talks on the sidelines.
“Well, I just spoke with the president about it. Iran has requested a meeting this week, so Special Envoy (Steve) Witkoff and Jared Kushner will be flying to Doha for high-level meetings this week as we continue to discuss the memorandum of understanding,” she said.
