June 30 (UPI) -- American and Iranian delegates are arriving in Doha, Qatar, for "technical talks" Tuesday to discuss the memorandum of understanding that created a cease-fire between the two countries.
Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari said Tuesday that these are not high-level talks.
Unlike the recent talks in Switzerland with Vice President JD Vance and Iranian chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, these will be led by U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi. They will not meet in person and the talks will be mediated by Qatari officials. President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is expected to participate.
The discussions will "produce documents that will be elevated to principles in the high-level meetings to agree upon," al-Ansari said.
