US President Donald Trump announced on Monday (29) that US and Iranian representatives will hold a new round of negotiations on Tuesday (30) in Doha, Qatar. "Iran has requested a meeting. It will take place tomorrow in Doha!", Trump wrote in a post on the social network Truth Social. The announcement comes after a new escalation of tensions between the two countries over the weekend. The US and Iran exchanged attacks that threatened to compromise negotiations aimed at consolidating the ceasefire and reducing hostilities in the region. According to US officials, the US carried out attacks against Iranian military targets in response to Tehran's offensives against vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News that special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will participate in the meeting in Doha. "For our part, we are abiding by the ceasefire. Violence will be met with violence," she declared. US authorities also reported that both sides remain committed to suspending hostilities and ensuring the free passage of commercial ships through Hormuz.
