July 1 (UPI) -- Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and their Iranian counterparts are planning to meet with Qatari negotiators Wednesday for ongoing peace talks.
On Tuesday, Witkoff and Kushner met with the prime minister of Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani. They are scheduled to meet with him again today.
Iran and Qatar have said that there will be no direct, high-level meetings between United States and Iranian officials and that all discussions will be through Qatari intermediaries, The New York Times reported. Today's negotiations will be about the cease-fire agreement and getting it implemented, a spokesperson told The Times.
Iran's negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, in an interview with Iran's state media Tuesday, laid out the most important provisions of the memorandum of understanding signed on June 17.
