Conflicting messages from Washington and Tehran are casting doubt over the future of US-Iran diplomacy. US President Donald Trump says American and Iranian officials will meet in Doha, Qatar, to discuss the implementation of a ceasefire agreement and Iran's nuclear programme.
But Iran's Foreign Ministry says no direct high-level talks are planned, insisting only a technical delegation will meet with mediators to discuss implementation of the memorandum of understanding.
