The statements come amid conflicting reports regarding contacts between the United States and Iran, after U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that Tehran had requested a meeting in Doha, the capital of Qatar, something the Iranian government has publicly denied.

According to the Iranian side, the discussions planned in Doha would focus on the implementation of a memorandum of understanding that includes issues such as the release of frozen assets and mediation by third countries, without any direct peace talks currently underway with Washington.

In parallel, US emissaries Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have traveled to Qatar to meet with regional mediators, in a context of indirect contacts between both countries to address issues such as the nuclear program, sanctions and regional stability.
