'No Meetings Scheduled Between Iran And US': Tehran Denies Trump's Doha Talks Claim Published By, Last Updated: June 30, 2026, 00:21 IST Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Iranian technical delegation would travel to Qatar this week, but stressed that the visit was unrelated to any meeting with US officials. US President Donald Trump and Iran's Supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei (Photos: AFP) Iran on Monday said no meetings with the United States are scheduled in the coming days, rejecting US President Donald Trump’s announcement that talks between the two countries would take place in Doha on Tuesday. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said an Iranian technical delegation would travel to Qatar this week, but stressed that the visit was unrelated to any meeting with US officials, Al Jazeera reported. “No talks between Iran and the United States are scheduled in the coming days," Baghaei said. According to the foreign ministry, the delegation heading to Doha will focus on “implementing the provisions of the memorandum of understanding" and will not hold discussions with US representatives, Iran’s IRNA news agency reported.
The ministry added that the visit by US officials to Qatar “has no connection to the visit of the Iranian delegation."

He said Washington had issued the necessary authorisations under Article 10 of the MoU, which relates to the sale of Iranian oil, and that Tehran was monitoring the implementation process. On the release of Iran’s frozen assets, Baghaei said the implementation process was also underway. He added that negotiations on a final agreement had not yet begun and reiterated that the Iranian delegation’s visit to Doha was “solely intended to follow up on the implementation of the MoU, including Article 11." Preparations For US-Iran Talks Have Not Begun: Iranian Embassy Separately, the Iranian embassy in Qatar said preparations for talks between Tehran and Washington had not begun. “We have not received any official information on this matter so far," the embassy said in a statement carried by Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency.

Iran Requested A Meeting, It Will Take Place In Doha: Trump Trump had earlier announced on Truth Social that a meeting with Iran would take place in Qatar. “IRAN HAS REQUESTED A MEETING. IT WILL TAKE PLACE TOMORROW IN DOHA!" Trump wrote, without identifying who would participate. Later, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News that US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner “will be flying to Doha for high-level meetings this week." Trump’s announcement came after Iran held its first talks with Oman on managing the Strait of Hormuz since the US-Iran agreement was signed, and amid an ongoing pause in hostilities between Washington and Tehran.
