Iran-Qatar talks today will cover US deal and frozen assets, Iranian official says

Iran-Qatar talks today will cover the implementation of Tehran’s agreement with the US, as well as its frozen assets, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Tuesday.

Baghaei said that what will “probably take place in Doha” today is a “discussion with the Qatari side on the implementation of some provisions of the memorandum of understanding, including the provision concerning the release of Iran’s restricted assets.”

He said that Iran’s negotiating team had no plan to meet with the American delegation in the coming days.

Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari said Tuesday that US envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law ‌Jared Kushner arrived in Doha to meet Qatari mediators, but he stressed there will not be a meeting with Iranian officials.

He added that $6 billion of Iran’s frozen funds have not been transferred to Tehran, but he said this would happen “according to the advancement of negotiations.”
