Iran's foreign ministry announced that its delegation in Doha is focusing on releasing Iran's frozen assets, not on negotiating a final agreement. The statement reiterated that no talks on a final deal have begun because the memorandum of understanding has not yet been implemented, according to the official announcement.
The Iranian foreign ministry said Monday evening that its delegation's visit to Doha will focus on releasing Iran's frozen assets, and denied that negotiations for a final agreement have begun. The statement comes amid conflicting signals: earlier Monday, an Iranian embassy statement rejected President Trump's claim that talks were progressing. The Zioneer reported Monday at 20:56 that the foreign ministry spokesman denied any talks with the U.S. in the coming days, and at 21:23 that a separate statement specified the Doha visit concerns implementation of a memorandum of understanding — not final-deal negotiations. Qatar has been mediating U.S.-Iran talks for weeks; earlier reports noted that a Qatari delegation spent 17 hours in Tehran in mid-June, producing a draft MOU, but the status of the process remains unclear.
