US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Doha on Tuesday for talks with Qatari mediators on Iran-related negotiations, but Qatar’s Foreign Ministry confirmed no high-level meeting between Washington and Tehran is scheduled in the coming days despite President Donald Trump’s claim that Iran had requested talks.

Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed Al-Ansari told reporters in Doha that Witkoff and Kushner are in the capital to discuss “all regional issues” with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed Bin Jassim II and other mediators, not to negotiate directly with Iranian officials . The ministry reiterated that no direct US-Iran talks are planned, contradicting Trump’s Monday statement that Iran had sought a meeting in Qatar . Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi also denied any technical working-group meetings with the US this week, though he said consultations through mediators continue regarding frozen funds and recent commitments .

The visit follows four days of reciprocal strikes in the Strait of Hormuz, which paused on Monday, and comes as oil prices slid on mixed signals from Washington and Tehran . Iran has rejected a French proposal to cooperate on clearing mines from the strategic waterway, warning Paris against intervention .

Meanwhile, Iran’s delegation to Doha is reportedly focused on securing the release of billions of dollars in frozen funds held in Qatar, a priority for moderates in Tehran, while hardliners in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps push to maintain control over the Strait of Hormuz . Qatari officials have stated they have not transferred any of the $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds, further complicating the narrative .

The conflicting statements underscore the fragility of the diplomatic process. While both sides have sent delegations to Doha, the absence of direct talks and the competing agendas within Iran’s leadership raise doubts about whether the visit will yield progress toward de-escalation.
