Iran requested a meeting with the Trump administration this week after weekend clashes threatened to derail peace negotiations between the two countries.
President Donald Trump announced Monday the meeting will take place in Doha, Qatar, on Tuesday.
The request comes after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian claimed earlier Monday that $6 billion in frozen Iranian assets would be released by Qatar — calling it a “great victory for the Iranian people.”
Iran requested the meeting in Doha after a weekend of strikes raised questions about the durability of the 60-day peace framework.
Pezeshkian’s claims remain unconfirmed by the U.S., though the unfreezing of sanctioned assets was mentioned in the memorandum of understanding Washington and Tehran signed June 17.
That interim deal set a 60-day clock for talks aimed at reaching a final peace agreement. The U.S. hopes to resolve decades-long concerns about Iran’s nuclear program and formally end the war launched Feb. 28.
The 14-point memorandum states sanctions on Iran will be lifted as part of a final deal — but that relief is linked to nuclear compliance.
If Tuesday’s meeting occurs, it will come after weekend strikes between the U.S. and Iran that raised serious questions about whether the peace framework can hold.
