“There is no high-level meeting currently scheduled between the US and Iran,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari said in remarks carried by Qatari media.
He added that Witkoff and Kushner “will not meet directly” with Iranian officials.
He said the transfer of $6 billion of $12 billion in frozen Iranian funds “will be agreed upon by the US and Iran.”
The issue of the frozen funds “is linked to the progress of negotiations between Washington and Tehran,” he added.
