Qatar says US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are in Doha but that no direct meeting with Iranian officials is currently scheduled — contradicting US President Donald Trump, who said on Monday that Tehran had requested face-to-face talks.

Iran's foreign ministry has warned it will respond decisively to any violation of the memorandum of understanding.
