The Iranian embassy in Doha issued a statement Monday evening rejecting President Trump's claim that talks are progressing, saying preparations for renewed negotiations in Qatar 'have not yet begun' and calling the assertions 'baseless.'
The Iranian embassy in Doha issued a statement Monday evening directly contradicting U.S. President Donald Trump's earlier claim that talks between Washington and Tehran were progressing toward a deal. The embassy said preparations for renewed negotiations in Qatar 'have not yet begun' and described Trump's assertions as 'baseless.'
The denial is the latest in a series of conflicting statements between the two capitals. On Monday itself, a senior U.S. official told The Jerusalem Post that no talks had been canceled and that technical discussions were still scheduled — a position Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister rejected hours earlier, stating no technical meetings were planned this week.
The broader context, as The Zioneer reported Sunday, involves Iran halting further negotiations after Trump claimed an imminent deal; Tehran's official news agency Tasnim has repeatedly labeled U.S. optimism 'out of touch with reality.' The Qatari channel remains the designated venue for indirect talks under the memorandum of understanding framework, but no date has been set for the next round.
