President Trump said that a meeting with Iran will take place on Tuesday, following a turbulent weekend of back-and-forth military strikes between U.S. and Iranian forces.
“IRAN HAS REQUESTED A MEETING. IT WILL TAKE PLACE TOMORROW IN DOHA!” the president wrote on Truth Social.
Doha is the capital city of Qatar.
This development comes on the heels of pointed attacks between the U.S. and Iran just days into a tenuous ceasefire agreement that gave both countries a 60-day timeline to negotiate final terms amid a memorandum of understanding.
On Friday, President Trump said that Iran had violated the ceasefire by taking shots at vessels attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz. Keeping the shipping corridor open for business is a key component of maintaining the ceasefire.
Unfortunately, a Singapore-flagged ship was reportedly struck in these attacks.
On Saturday, the situation grew extremely tense, as President Trump announced that U.S. forces had struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites.
“It is very possible that they will never learn!” he said in a statement. “There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!”
Vice President J.D. also suggested over the weekend that Iran’s attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz were related to “disagreements” about how the MOU was being applied. He warned that “violence will be met with violence.”
However, Axios reported that the U.S. and Iran had agreed to halt attacks and continue talks in Doha this week, following a round of discussions last week in Switzerland, headed up by Vice President J.D. Vance.
Even amid threats of violence in the Strait of Hormuz, marine traffic has remained steady. According to Marine Traffic, at least 108 vessels successfully transited the route between June 26 and 28.
