Trump Says Iran Requested Doha Meeting as Nuclear Talks Resume

WASHINGTON/DOHA, Jun 29: US President Donald Trump said on Monday that Iran had requested a meeting, with high-level talks set to take place in Doha on Tuesday as efforts continue to address Tehran's nuclear program.

"Special Envoy Witkoff and Jared Kushner will be flying to Doha for high-level meetings this week, as we continue to discuss the memorandum of understanding," Leavitt told Fox News.

She added that technical-level talks would accompany the high-level discussions, signaling continued diplomatic engagement between Washington and Tehran following recent tensions in the region.

The expected meeting comes as the United States and Iran seek to advance negotiations under a memorandum of understanding aimed at addressing key issues, including Iran's nuclear program and broader regional security concerns.
