Live updates: Trump and Iran issue conflicting statements about talks

• US-Iran talks: Envoy Steve Witkoff is en route to Doha, hours after President Donald Trump said the US will meet with Iran in Qatar today. But Iran said no negotiations are scheduled with the US in the coming days, though an expert Iranian delegation will travel to Doha later this week.

• In Israel: Defense Minister Israel Katz said Trump insisted on linking the wars in Lebanon and Iran during ceasefire talks, despite his country’s desire to handle them as separate conflicts. He said Israel had received US backing to stay in Lebanon until Hezbollah is disarmed across the country.

• Strait of Hormuz: The removal of mines will be carried out solely by Iran, its deputy foreign minister said, pushing back on remarks by President Emmanuel Macron suggesting that France, Oman and others would collaborate.

CNN’s Bianna Golodryga speaks with Edward Fishman, author of “Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare,” about the renewed tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.

President Donald Trump said Iran talks are being hosted today in Qatar, and his envoy Steve Witkoff is en route to the capital Doha, according to two US officials.

But Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said no talks are scheduled with the US at any level in the coming days, though an expert Iranian delegation will travel to Doha later this week.

Baghaei said Iran and the US have not yet entered the stage of negotiating a final agreement.

The inconsistency in messaging raises further doubts that negotiators can meet their 60-day deadline after the two sides traded attacks over the weekend, straining their already fragile ceasefire.
