Iran does not intend to meet with the United States in Doha until Washington takes practical steps to meet its seven conditions, a senior Iranian security official said, commenting on media reports on the upcoming talks between Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei and U.S. Vice President JD Vance in Qatar.
"Iran’s policy and plans regarding talks have not changed. Until the US side takes concrete steps to meet our seven conditions, plans won't be made to negotiate with the US side," the official said.
The Turkiye newspaper reported earlier, citing Turkish National Intelligence Organization Director Ibrahim Kalin, that Qatar plans to host talks between Rezaei and Vance next week. Kalin said that he's optimistic the Doha talks will work to move the Iranian crisis toward settlement.
Meanwhile, Rezaei told Iranian state television that he had read a letter sent to him by Vance but had not yet responded to it.
