US and Iran Begin Indirect De-escalation Negotiations in Doha
Delegations from the United States and Iran held separate, indirect meetings in Doha, Qatar, on June 30, 2026, to discuss the implementation of a bilateral Memorandum of Understanding. The talks, facilitated by Qatari mediators, aimed to address the release of $6 billion in frozen assets and regional security issues. Despite the diplomatic engagement, Iran’s chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf publicly warned that Tehran remains prepared for war if the United States fails to honor its economic commitments.
