US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that Iran has requested a meeting in Doha on Tuesday, a claim Tehran immediately denied as it scrambled to contain domestic backlash over weekend strikes that shattered a fragile ceasefire in the Strait of Hormuz.

Speaking on Truth Social at 07:31 local time, Trump wrote: “IRAN HAS REQUESTED A MEETING. IT WILL TAKE PLACE TOMORROW IN DOHA!” The White House later confirmed that envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner would travel to Qatar this week for high-level talks, while insisting Washington remains committed to the ceasefire despite reciprocal attacks that killed at least two Iranian Revolutionary Guard officers and damaged a commercial tanker carrying two million barrels of crude.

Senior Iranian officials swiftly contradicted the narrative. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei told state media there were “no plans” for direct negotiations this week, adding that any technical talks would only proceed once a date and venue were agreed through intermediaries. Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, reiterated the stance in a Telegram post carried by Mehr News, stating that consultations via third countries were continuing but no Doha meeting was scheduled.

The duelling claims cap a weekend of tit-for-tat violence that saw US Central Command strike ten Iranian military sites—radar installations, drone depots, air-defence systems and coastal surveillance nodes—after Tehran launched a one-way drone at the Liberian-flagged tanker Kiku on Thursday. Iran’s foreign ministry condemned the US raids as “flagrant violations” of the provisional memorandum of understanding and warned that any further aggression would trigger an “unrelenting response.”

Amid the turmoil, Iran’s newly elected president, Masoud Pezeshkian, hailed the tentative deal with Washington as a “great victory” and said Qatar would release six billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets, though neither Doha nor Washington has confirmed the transfer. Analysts caution that the fragile détente hinges on Iran’s ability to curb attacks through proxies while maintaining control of the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint that carries 20% of seaborne oil.

The diplomatic impasse coincides with a separate US-brokered framework between Israel and Lebanon that Hezbollah has rejected as “null and void,” raising the spectre of parallel crises destabilising the Levant. [source](eurotopics.net
