Iran denies US talks in Doha, contradicts Trump's claim of planned negotiations

Iran has flatly rejected claims by US President Donald Trump that the two countries are set to hold negotiations in Qatar. Tehran clarified that an Iranian expert delegation will travel to Doha only to discuss the implementation of a memorandum of understanding related to frozen assets and oil exports. The denial comes amid reported tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, following which both sides allegedly agreed to pause counter-strikes. Iranian officials stressed that no negotiations are taking place at any level. Any broader deal discussions, Tehran indicated, remain dependent on the resolution of these specific provisions.
