Iran announced it would send a delegation to Qatar on Tuesday for technical meetings, while the United States said envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner would travel to Qatar this week for high‑level meetings, with no confirmed bilateral meeting between the two sides. The development follows a framework accord signed last week by Iran and the United States aimed at securing a peace deal, and comes after Lebanese state media reported an Israeli strike in southern Lebanon despite the agreement. US President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday that the scheduled meeting in Qatar may be important, may not. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said on X that the removal of mines from the Strait of Hormuz would be carried out solely by Iran under a MoU signed in Islamabad, a statement made in response to French President Emmanuel Macron's remarks. The outcome of the technical talks and the broader diplomatic path remain uncertain as both sides prepare for the meetings.
