The White House has confirmed that high-level US-Iran negotiations will take place in Doha, Qatar, on June 30, with two of President Trump’s most prominent envoys, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, leading the American delegation.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the meeting, which Trump himself highlighted on Truth Social, noting that Iran had requested the sit-down.
What’s actually happening in Doha
The US and Iran have been engaged in a diplomatic back-and-forth that traces back to April 2025, when the two sides first sat down in Oman. Multiple rounds of discussion have followed since then, covering nuclear capabilities and regional security in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran requested this particular round of talks, though the picture from Tehran has been somewhat muddled. Some Iranian officials have denied that scheduled “technical” dialogues even exist.
