Witkoff flies to Qatar for talks with Iran

US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff has departed for the Qatari capital Doha, where US-Iranian talks are expected on Tuesday, CNN reports.

"Witkoff is currently on his way to Doha," the channel reported, citing two American officials.

There is no information on whether Witkoff is accompanied by US President’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, CNN notes.

Earlier, Trump announced US-Iranian talks planned for Tuesday in Doha. However, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Bagai then stated that Tehran does not plan contacts with the American side in Qatar in the coming days.
