The Qatari Foreign Ministry stated on June 30 (local time) that while Jared Kushner, son-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff are scheduled to visit the country, there are no plans for high-level talks between the United States and Iran.

Majed bin Mohammed Al-Ansari, spokesperson for the Qatari Foreign Ministry, said, "Special Envoy Witkoff and Kushner are scheduled to visit Doha to discuss negotiations between the U.S. and Iran and will meet with Qatari mediators. The meetings will naturally include discussions on dialogue with Iran, the situation in Lebanon, and other agenda items."

However, he drew a line, stating, "To my knowledge, no high-level talks between the U.S. and Iran will take place during their visit."

Al-Ansari added, "High-level talks will only be realized if working-level consultations achieve results," and further noted, "As of now, there is no scheduled visit to Doha by high-level Iranian officials."

Nevertheless, referring to indirect talks between U.S. and Iranian working-level officials, he added, "The situation in the Strait of Hormuz will certainly be a key agenda item in the ongoing negotiations. Other contentious issues, such as Iran's nuclear program and the overall situation in the Middle East, will also be included in the discussions."

Previously, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared on Fox News and announced that Kushner and Special Envoy Witkoff would travel to Doha, the capital of Qatar, for high-level talks this week.

She also stated, "Technical working-level meetings will be held in parallel with the high-level talks."

As news of the planned visits by U.S. and Iranian delegations to Doha emerged, speculation grew regarding the possibility of contact between the two sides.

However, the Iranian side distanced itself from the U.S. claim that follow-up negotiations for a ceasefire agreement would be held in Doha.

Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister, stated that there are no plans to hold working-level talks with the U.S. this week.

Subsequently, Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, reaffirmed that there are no plans for follow-up negotiations on the ceasefire agreement with the U.S. in the coming days.

The U.S. and Iran signed a ceasefire Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the 17th and proceeded with follow-up negotiations, but the armed clashes surrounding the Strait of Hormuz from the 25th to the 28th have made it uncertain whether the negotiations will continue.

Meanwhile, regarding the four days of armed clashes between the two sides, Al-Ansari reported, "A hotline to prevent accidental clashes has been activated to contain the standoff that occurred in the Strait of Hormuz over the past few days."

Regarding the issue of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, he added, "Qatar is closely coordinating with Oman to address the Strait of Hormuz issue and ensure the safe passage of vessels."

Regarding the release of frozen Iranian funds agreed upon by the U.S., he explained, "As of now, the 6 billion dollars in unfrozen Iranian funds have not been transferred to the Iranian side."
