(NewsNation) — Negotiations between the United States and Iran are still ongoing despite renewed strikes over the weekend, a U.S. official confirmed to NewsNation. President Donald Trump said a meeting on Iran would be held Tuesday in Doha without giving further details.

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

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi denied any talks have been scheduled for this week.

Meanwhile, Iran said it targeted U.S. military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain. The strikes come after the U.S. hit 10 Iranian military targets in and around the Strait of Hormuz following an Iranian drone attack on a crude oil tanker, according to U.S. Central Command.

Trump said U.S. aircraft struck Iranian missile and drone storage sites and coastal radar systems, warning Tehran it could face further military action if attacks continue.

Talks will happen, but not with each other, governments say

NewsNation’s Robert Sherman, who is in Doha, reports that special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will meet on Tuesday with the Qatari prime minister and other officials to discuss negotiations with Iran, according to a diplomat with knowledge of the talks.

US-Iran talks set to continue despite weekend strikes | Morning in America

The following day, technical teams from both the U.S. and Iran will meet separately with mediators from Qatar and Pakistan.

On Iranian national television, Gharibabadi said that Iran’s focus in talks was working with Oman to develop a mechanism to control the Strait of Hormuz.

Gharibabadi said Iran may take action against any ship that traverses the strait outside of Iran’s designated zone.

He also said that the fact that American delegations are traveling to Qatar has “no connection” to the Iranian delegation’s trip.

Iran says it is working with Qatar on the release of billions of dollars in Iranian assets that are frozen in Qatar.

US Admiral Brad Cooper in Lebanon

Admiral Brad Cooper, who leads the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), met with the president of Lebanon.

President Joseph Aoun says the meeting helped set up the framework of implementing the agreement between U.S., Israeli and Lebanese negotiators.

The Pentagon also says Admiral Cooper visited with deployed troops int he region. More than 50,000 American troops are deployed throughout the region, the Pentagon says.

Iran says no technical talks with US this week in Doha

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi says technical working group meetings under the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding were not scheduled for this week.

“Although consultations with Qatar continue as usual, the reports from some media outlets that technical talks between the sides will take place in Doha cannot be confirmed,” he said Monday. “The first round of technical talks will take place when the conditions are met.”

Earlier, a source with knowledge of the talks told Reuters that Iranian and U.S. technical teams working to implement the MoU would meet in the coming days.

Strait of Hormuz shipping dispute adds pressure

The escalation underscores growing pressure on the fragile 14-point framework agreement between Washington and Tehran, as tensions continue to center on the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has objected to newly designated shipping routes through the waterway, saying vessels must coordinate with Tehran or risk suspension of passage permissions.

Despite the clashes, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said technical talks tied to the agreement are expected to continue in the coming days, and the White House said the negotiating framework has not changed.

Israel hits three targets in southern Lebanon

Israel’s military said it struck three Hezbollah military sites early Monday, including an underground tunnel it said contained hundreds of weapons and launchers.

The strikes come less than 48 hours after Lebanon and Israel agreed on a security agreement brokered by the U.S. that calls for Israel to leave southern Lebanon in phases.
