According to AFP, a diplomatic source familiar with the negotiations stated, "U.S. and Iranian officials plan to hold indirect technical discussions with Qatari and Pakistani mediators in Doha, based on the progress made during the recent meeting at Lake Lucerne in Switzerland regarding the memorandum of understanding (MOU)."
However, the source noted that Jared Kushner, senior advisor to President Donald Trump, and Steve Winikoff, U.S. Special Envoy for the Middle East, met with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani the day before but will not participate in the upcoming talks.
Additionally, there are no plans for high-level meetings or direct negotiations between the two sides. Earlier, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei stated, "There are no scheduled meetings with the U.S. at any level in the coming days."
Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majid bin Mohammed Al Ansari also confirmed, "There will be no high-level meetings between the U.S. and Iran," adding that such meetings would only occur if the technical discussions yield positive results.
