The White House has announced that high-level talks between the United States and Iran will be held this week in Doha, the capital of Qatar. However, Iranian officials have stated that there are no plans for a technical meeting. Caroline Leavitt, a White House spokesperson, told Fox News that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff will travel to Doha to participate in these meetings. She added that, in addition to the high-level discussions, technical sessions will also be held on the sidelines of the talks.<\/p>\n
In contrast, Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran\u2019s Deputy Foreign Minister, emphasized that no technical meeting between the two sides is scheduled for this week. Previously, some Western media had reported that a technical meeting would take place on Tuesday, but these reports were not confirmed by Tehran.<\/p>\n
The White House spokesperson also claimed that Washington remains committed to its obligations under the ceasefire agreement with Iran, and President Donald Trump “wants to carry the peace process through to the end.” However, she noted that Trump would not hesitate to use military force if necessary, and the United States will continue its attacks in response to what it describes as Iranian attacks on commercial ships.<\/p>\n
Leavitt added that if the peace process continues, the 14-point memorandum of understanding previously signed by Tehran and Washington will remain in place. However, in recent weeks, both sides have accused each other of violating commitments.<\/p>\n
The dispute over the holding of a technical meeting and differing interpretations of the level of adherence to the ceasefire reflect ongoing uncertainty and tension surrounding the negotiations. It remains unclear how much the upcoming talks in Doha will reduce the intensity of these disagreements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
