President Donald Trump said Monday that Iran requested a meeting and that it will take place Tuesday in Doha, according to his statement on Truth Social and as reported by Israel Hayom. No details on the agenda or format were released. The announcement comes amid weeks of accelerated US-Iran diplomacy toward a deal.
President Donald Trump announced on Monday afternoon that Iran has requested a meeting and that the talks will take place Tuesday in Doha, Qatar. Trump posted the statement on Truth Social, writing: “Iran has requested a meeting. It will take place tomorrow in Doha!” The message was carried by multiple Israeli outlets including Israel Hayom.
The announcement follows extensive diplomatic activity. As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, a source familiar with the matter told NBC that Iran would indeed participate in Doha talks this week. Over the past week, reports indicated that technical teams were working on implementation of a memorandum of understanding and that communication channels to prevent incidents remained active. On Sunday, Pakistan's foreign minister stated that the signing of the US-Iran agreement would take place on June 21. Over the weekend, a senior US official confirmed that Trump would convene a Middle Eastern summit in France that includes meetings with the Emir of Qatar, Egypt's president, and the UAE president.
The Trump administration has been pursuing a nuclear and regional deal with Tehran for weeks, with the president alternating between threats of military action and diplomatic outreach. Last week, Trump said he believed the Iranians “want to make a deal — but we will see,” and he urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept the emerging agreement.
No further details on the agenda, format, or participant level (whether Trump himself will attend or if lower-level delegations will meet) have been released.
