The United States (US) President Donald Trump on Monday said that the talks between the US and Iran will resume tomorrow (Tuesday) in Doha at the request of Iran. However Iran has rejected any such prospect.
Donald Trump wrote on his Truth Social account, “IRAN HAS REQUESTED A MEETING. IT WILL TAKE PLACE TOMORROW IN DOHA.”
Iran rejects claims
On the other hand, Iran rejected the claim of talks between the two countries in Doha this week. Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi confirmed that the reports regarding the talks between the US and Iran in Doha are not true.
“Technical meetings of the working groups are not scheduled for this week,” he said.
“The first round of technical talks within the designated working groups will be held once conditions are met and after agreement is reached on the date and venue,” he further added.
