Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff briefed members of Congress by phone on Monday evening on the state of US-Iran negotiations — drawing a sharp rebuke from Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, who called the session deficient and lacking in detail.
The briefing came as Witkoff and US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner headed to Doha for what the White House has described as high-level talks — though Tehran says no meeting with the Americans is planned.
Iran's Foreign Ministry says its own technical delegation will be in Qatar this week for separate discussions with no connection to the US visit.
