On June 29, 2026, Iranian officials firmly denied reports alleging that direct talks with the United States are scheduled to take place in Doha this week. Esmail Baghaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, stated that there are no planned meetings between Tehran and Washington in the near future, countering claims that Iranian and U.S. technical teams would convene to discuss matters related to recent tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.
The denial follows statements made by U.S. President Donald Trump, who claimed on social media that Iran had requested a meeting, suggesting it would happen on June 30 in the Qatari capital. Trump’s assertions included a reference to the precarious situation following exchanges of fire between U.S. and Iranian forces. However, the Iranian Foreign Ministry's response explicitly dismissed the idea of any imminent discussions, emphasizing that any future negotiations would only occur under specific conditions. They did acknowledge an Iranian delegation's visit to Qatar later in the week, but this does not equate to direct discussions with U.S. representatives.
