Iran said on Monday that no negotiations with the United States had been scheduled in Doha this week, contradicting remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump as tensions continued despite an interim ceasefire.

The United States is sending a delegation led by Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff to Qatar, according to the White House. Iran confirmed it would send a technical delegation to Doha but said the visit was unrelated to the U.S. team.

"We will not have any negotiation meetings at any level with the American side in the coming days," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said.

The disagreement highlighted the fragility of the June 17 ceasefire agreement, which was intended to pause the four-month conflict, restore stability in the Strait of Hormuz and create a framework for negotiations on Iran's nuclear program and a permanent truce.

A senior Iranian official said a meeting in Doha was expected on Tuesday, focusing on managing the Strait of Hormuz and reducing tensions rather than broader negotiations. Another official said U.S. and Iranian technical teams were expected to meet separately with Qatari and Pakistani mediators on Wednesday.

Speaking at the White House, Trump said, "the meeting in Doha is going to be perhaps important, perhaps not. We're going to find out." He also reiterated that Iran must be prevented from developing a nuclear weapon.

The conflict has severely disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, sending oil prices above $100 per barrel and increasing pressure on global markets. The United States has accused Iran of attacking commercial vessels and responded with strikes on Iranian military facilities, while Iran launched missiles and drones at U.S. military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said $6 billion of Iranian assets frozen in Qatar would be released, describing the agreement as "a great victory for the Iranian people."

French President Emmanuel Macron said France was working with Oman to help de-escalate tensions and support efforts to clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi rejected the proposal, saying mine removal would be carried out solely by Iran under the terms of the agreement and warned France against complicating the situation.
