President Donald Trump announced on June 29 that Iran has agreed not to obtain nuclear weapons and that US and Iranian officials will meet the following day in Doha, Qatar. The announcement, made via Truth Social, marks a potentially significant moment in a diplomatic saga that has rattled global markets for the better part of a year.
Trump stated that Iran had requested the meeting, and he warned of “unbelievable consequences” if Tehran were to violate its commitment. The US delegation is expected to include special envoy Steve Witkoff and advisor Jared Kushner.
What we know about the Doha talks
The meeting falls within a 60-day negotiation window focused on nuclear non-proliferation issues, part of broader US-Iran discussions that have stretched across 2025 and into 2026. Additional technical discussions are reportedly planned on the sidelines of the main talks.
Some Iranian officials were reportedly confused by Trump’s declaration. Others denied that a meeting had been formally scheduled, instead pointing to the ongoing negotiations surrounding a ceasefire and broader nuclear framework discussions.
