Conflicting accounts of Doha talks
On June 29, President Trump wrote on Truth Social that Iran had requested a meeting and it would take place Tuesday in Doha. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner would travel to Doha for high-level meetings this week, with technical talks on the sidelines.
“Iran has requested a meeting. It will take place tomorrow in Doha!”
Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi denied any technical working group sessions this week, while Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei stated that an Iranian delegation will visit Qatar solely to advance implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed earlier this month, not to meet US representatives.
“No technical working group meetings have been scheduled for this week.”
Suspension of hostilities
A US official told AFP that both sides will suspend mutual attacks and ships will be able to circulate freely in the Strait of Hormuz. Technical talks covering all areas of the MoU will continue via mediators’ communication channels. Axios reported on Sunday that the two sides agreed to stop all kinetic actions.
“The technical discussions are expected to continue on all areas of the Memorandum of Understanding. Both sides will stop for now, and ships will be able to circulate freely.”
Frozen assets and sanctions relief
President Masoud Pezeshkian announced that $6 billion of the $12 billion in frozen Iranian assets held in Qatar will be released and returned to Iran after the interim agreement lifts sanctions on oil and petrochemical products.
Hormuz mine-clearing dispute
Gharibabadi stressed that demining operations in the Strait of Hormuz will be carried out exclusively by Iran under the MoU, responding to French President Macron’s comment that France and Oman are cooperating on the effort. The Iranian official warned France not to complicate the situation.
“The demining of the Strait of Hormuz will be carried out exclusively by Iran, according to the MoU.”
