President Donald Trump said "very good meetings" were held in Doha as US and Iranian officials gathered in the Qatari capital for indirect technical talks, with Qatar and Pakistan serving as mediators.

Qatar's Foreign Ministry said no high-level meeting between US and Iranian officials is scheduled in Doha in the coming days, after US President Donald Trump said Iran had requested talks and the White House announced senior US envoys would travel to Qatar for negotiations.
