The United States said technical talks with Iran will resume in Doha on Tuesday, while Iranian officials said nothing has been scheduled and some $6 billion of Iranian assets would be released through Qatar.

US President Donald Trump said on Monday on social media that Iran had requested a meeting with US counterparts, though Iranian officials said no such meeting was scheduled.

"Iran has requested a meeting. It will take place tomorrow in Doha," Trump wrote in all capital letters in a social media post on Monday.
