U.S. and Iran to hold fresh talks in Qatar after weekend clashes
U.S.-Iran talks in Doha follow weekend strikes and rising Middle East tensions Get the latest on the possible peace deal and what it could mean for global oil
The United States and Iran are set to hold new talks in Doha, Qatar, on Tuesday, according to President Donald Trump. The announcement came after a weekend of strikes and counterstrikes in the Middle East that raised tensions between the two countries.
Trump said on Truth Social that Iran had requested the meeting. The White House later said Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff were preparing to brief Congress on an initial peace deal, though officials did not share details.
The clashes over the weekend involved U.S. strikes on Iranian military targets and Iranian attacks linked to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil traffic. U.S. officials said both sides would pause hostilities for now and allow commercial vessels to move through the waterway.
