Iran states it won't meet with US envoys, clouding prospects for calm pact
Make us preferred on Google Official group staff members meet in the lobby on the day of a quadrilateral session between the US, Iran, Pakistan, and Qatar at the Lake Lucerne Conference, Buergenstock Resort Lake Lucerne, near Stansstad, Switzerland, June 21, 2026. — Reuters US envoys Kushner and Witkoff arrive in Doha. Qatar and Iran say no high-level US-Iran meetings scheduled. Iran states it will control Strait of Hormuz. Iran stated on Tuesday it would not meet with top US envoys who flew to the zone following an outbreak of hostilities, clouding the prospects for a lasting calm between the two countries.
Iranian representatives also stated the two sides must still sort out the terms of a temporary calm they signed two weeks ago before they could tackle more difficult topics, such as possible limits to its nuclear programme.
The developments indicated the two sides are far apart on key pillars of the initial directive structure, which calls for Iran to lift its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for financial incentives, and sets up 60 days of dialogue to work out a permanent calm pact.
US Head Donald Trump's son-in-statute Jared Kushner and diplomatic representative Steve Witkoff arrived in Doha for what the White House described as "high level" dialogue, but Iran and host Qatar stated they would meet with mediators, rather than the Iranians themselves.
Qatar stated Premier Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani was among those to meet with Witkoff and Kushner.
