United States President Donald Trump stated this Monday (29) that Iran "asked for a meeting" with his administration, which will take place on Tuesday (30) in Doha, Qatar.
"Iran requested a meeting. It will happen tomorrow in Doha!" Trump said in a statement entirely in all caps on his social network Truth Social.

The Iranian government, however, presented a different version. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said on Monday that there are no meetings scheduled for this week between representatives of the two countries to continue negotiations on the peace agreement signed earlier this month.
Gharibabadi's statement, broadcast by the Iranian news agency Tasnim, came after the US website Axios reported that the US and Iran planned to meet on Tuesday in Doha, according to a senior White House official.
On Sunday (28), Iran and the United States agreed to halt recent hostilities in the Gulf and resume negotiations over the dispute surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, Axios reported. The US military bombed Iranian targets on Friday and Saturday, and the attacks were retaliated by Iranians against US targets in the Middle East. Read more below.

New attacks after signing of peace agreement
A round of mediated negotiations led by Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf was held in Switzerland a week ago, and Washington suspended sanctions against Tehran, but fighting has resumed and intensified since then.
The apparent return to diplomacy between the US and Iran comes after several days of attacks and counter-attacks, triggered when an Iranian projectile hit a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday (25); both the US and Iran accused each other of violating a provisional ceasefire agreed upon on June 17.
Iran launches missiles at US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain
Iran launched missiles and drones at US military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain early this Sunday, shortly after President Donald Trump threatened to eliminate the Iranian leadership if they failed to comply with the agreement to end the conflict.
"There may come a time when we will no longer be able to act reasonably and will be forced to militarily complete the task we started so successfully. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will cease to exist!" Trump said on social media, before the Axios report was published.
The 14-point provisional peace agreement aimed to halt the fighting — initiated by the US and Israel on February 28 — and reopen the strait while negotiations on issues such as Iran's nuclear program continued.
