President Donald Trump said an upcoming gathering in Doha might turn out to be significant or not, adding that its impact would become evident later. The United States sent Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff to head its delegation, while Iran dispatched a technical team to Qatar; Tehran’s foreign‑ministry spokesperson clarified that the Iranian group was unrelated to any U.S. talks and that no formal negotiations were scheduled in the immediate future. The talks aim to sustain a June 17 cease‑fire that has been tested by recent missile exchanges and interruptions to oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz, a development that is increasing political pressure on the administration ahead of the forthcoming elections.
