US delegation in Doha for indirect talks with Iranian technical delegation | US-Israel War on Iran News

Iran says it has sent an expert delegation to Doha to monitor the release of frozen Iranian funds.

US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have arrived in Doha to discuss the cessation of hostilities between Iran and the US, but no meetings with Iranian officials have been scheduled, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar has said.

The US delegation will meet with mediators in the Qatari capital to discuss the establishment of a ceasefire and will not meet with Iranian ambassadors to discuss directly in the Qatari capital, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Majed bin Mohammed al-Ansari said, after Tehran rejected US President Donald. Trump’s comments that Iran requested a meeting.

Iran said it will send a technical delegation, which is focused on the implementation of the existing agreement (MOU), including disputes related to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and the release of $ 6bn in They froze Iran’s economy.

The delegation of Iran has “many objections, objections and complaints” regarding the speed of the MOU agreement, including Article 1, which describes the cessation of hostilities in southern Lebanon, Al Jazeera’s Mohammed Vall said from Tehran.

Esmaeil Baghaei, a spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, reiterated Tehran’s role in the Lebanon war in a press conference on Monday.

“America must follow through on its commitments and, if necessary, force the Zionist government to fulfill its commitments,” Baghaei said.

“Our goal in assessing America’s compliance with its obligations is with the terms of the MOU.”

Article 5 of the MOU is also stable, said Vall, adding that “when Iran considers that this article gives the power to fix traffic in the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days of negotiations before reaching a final agreement, the Americans seem to believe that Iran should stop and allow traffic to flow freely”.

Iran is also concerned about the opening of new routes through the Strait of Hormuz near the Omani River, Vall said, referring to the route that Oman and the International Maritime Organization have developed. Iran believes that this was done without Iran’s agreement, which constitutes a violation of Section 5 of the MOU, Vall said.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar said that the dedicated phone helped to facilitate the exchange of fire between the US and Iran on the road last week, and that Doha is cooperating with Oman to ensure the smooth movement of ships in the waterway, which it considers to be very important for freedom of navigation.

The ministry added that $6bn in frozen Iranian goods had yet to be transferred to Tehran.
