The U.S. and Iran are poised to hold fresh talks on Tuesday in Qatar’s capital, President Donald Trump said via social media on Monday, following a weekend of hostilities in the Middle East. “IRAN HAS REQUESTED A MEETING. IT WILL TAKE PLACE TOMORROW IN DOHA!,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

There was no immediate reaction from Iran. CNBC has contacted Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is awaiting a response. A White House official told CNBC that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and U.S. special envoy for peace missions Steve Witkoff are set to brief Congress on an initial peace deal on Monday. The briefing was first reported by Punchbowl News.

The White House did not provide any details on a potential peace deal.

Trump’s post comes after the U.S. and Iran exchanged a series of strikes over the weekend that threatened to derail negotiations aimed at ending the conflict. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News on Monday that special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner would travel for the meeting.
