Framing Analysis
Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani met US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Doha on or before 1 July 2026 while Iranian negotiators were also present in the city. No face-to-face US-Iran talks occurred. Tehran stated it would not begin final-deal negotiations until hostilities end in Lebanon, US oil sanctions are waived, and frozen Iranian funds are released.
