A senior US official told The Jerusalem Post that no talks with Iran have been canceled, and that technical discussions are still scheduled in Qatar. Iran had claimed it skipped Sunday's talks due to recent attacks and unmet conditions under the memorandum of understanding.
A senior US official told The Jerusalem Post late Sunday that the planned technical talks with Iran in Qatar are still on, contradicting Tehran's claim that talks were canceled or that it skipped them due to recent attacks. "Nothing has been canceled," the official said, according to the Post.
Earlier Sunday, Iran's state media cited an official saying Tehran did not attend the scheduled technical talks, blaming recent attacks and unmet conditions under the memorandum of understanding (MoU). The US statement, published around midnight Jerusalem time, reaffirms that discussions on implementing the MoU—including deconfliction mechanisms established after the Lake Lucerne summit—are proceeding.
As The Zioneer reported at 22:34, a senior US official had already described the talks as advancing and deconfliction channels as active. The new confirmation from the Post aligns with that assessment. The timeline for the next rounds remains unclear, but the US position is that the talks are moving forward despite the Iranian statement.
