The U.S. and Iran are poised to hold fresh talks on Tuesday in Qatar's capital, President Donald Trump said via social media on Monday, following a weekend of hostilities in the Middle East.
"IRAN HAS REQUESTED A MEETING. IT WILL TAKE PLACE TOMORROW IN DOHA!," Trump
said in a post on Truth Social.
There was no immediate reaction from Iran, although a senior Iranian official had denied that any technical talks were expected to take place in Doha over the coming days.
Trump's post comes after the U.S. and Iran exchanged a series of strikes over the weekend that threatened to derail negotiations aimed at ending the conflict.
U.S. officials said both sides would pause hostilities and allow commercial vessels to transit the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
