President Donald Trump on Monday morning said Iran has requested a meeting with the U.S. following a weekend of exchanged military attacks. 
"IRAN HAS REQUESTED A MEETING. 
IT WILL TAKE PLACE TOMORROW IN DOHA!" 
Trump wrote on Truth Social. 
The announcement came as U.S. and Iranian officials continued implementing the memorandum of understanding reached earlier this month, with Qatar serving as a key mediator in the negotiations. 
Trump did not provide additional details about who would attend the meeting or what issues would be discussed, but White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will attend the expected meeting with Iran in Doha on Tuesday. 
"Special Envoy Witkoff and Jared Kushner will be flying to Doha for high-level meetings this week, as we continue to discuss the memorandum of understanding," she said in a Monday interview. 
"On the sidelines of those high-level talks, there will be the technical talks." 
Trump's announcement follows heightened tensions over the weekend, when the two countries exchanged military strikes before diplomatic contacts resumed. 
Reuters reported Monday that Iranian and U.S. technical teams are expected to meet in Doha in the coming days as work continues on implementing the agreement. 
A source familiar with the talks told the news agency that mediators have established communication channels designed to quickly de-escalate future incidents. 
However, Iran signaled that the exact timing of those technical discussions remains unsettled. 
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said technical working group meetings under the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding were not scheduled for this week, according to Iran's Tasnim news agency. 
He added that consultations between Iran and Qatar regarding U.S. commitments are continuing as planned, but technical talks in Doha have not yet been confirmed. 
Gharibabadi's remarks appeared to differ somewhat from information provided by the source cited by Reuters, which reported that technical teams were preparing to meet in the coming days. 
The Iranian official also announced that Iran and Oman held the first meeting of a joint committee on the future management of the Strait of Hormuz in Muscat. 
According to Gharibabadi, officials discussed the sovereign rights of Gulf coastal states and the strategic waterway's future administration under the interim agreement signed by Tehran and Washington. 
The Trump administration has maintained that diplomacy will proceed from a position of strength while insisting Iran fully comply with its commitments under the memorandum. 
The reported Doha meeting would mark another step in efforts to solidify the agreement after weeks of negotiations aimed at reducing tensions and addressing regional security concerns. 
Qatar has played a central role as a mediator throughout the negotiations, while Oman also has facilitated discussions on regional issues, including the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important shipping lanes for global energy supplies.
