Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani met with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Doha on July 1, 2026. The meeting occurred amid ongoing tensions involving Iran and Lebanon.

Tehran has stated that it will not commence talks on a final deal until hostilities end in Lebanon and Washington waives oil sanctions and releases frozen Iranian funds. Although Iranian negotiators are present in Doha, no direct face-to-face talks between Iran and US representatives are planned at this time.

This development highlights the continuing complexities in diplomatic efforts surrounding the region.
