Iran said it would meet with Qatari mediators on July 1 to discuss negotiations with the United States, after Tehran and Washington agreed to a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to halt the Middle East war.

Iranian officials will travel to the Qatari capital Doha but contradicted U.S. President Donald Trump's claim that direct talks will take place.

Qatar also said no high-level meetings or direct talks between the longtime foes were planned.
