Prior to the announced meeting, Iranian officials denied any scheduled discussions. The meeting comes after a weekend of military exchanges-Iran conducted drone strikes on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, leading to U.S. retaliatory strikes on Iranian targets,and Iran responded with attacks on U.S. bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, while threatening to halt negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Trump responded to the escalation by warning that the U.S.might have to militarily complete the mission in Iran if the conflict continues, but by Sunday, both sides appeared to de-escalate and agreed to stand down temporarily, with negotiations resuming.Simultaneously occurring, Iran&#8217;s claims about asset releases and the ongoing violence highlight the fragile state of U.S.-Iran relations amid efforts to negotiate a broader peace agreement.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump <\/a>on Monday announced the U.S. and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\">Iran<\/a> will meet for peace talks this week, after a weekend of clashes raised questions about the durability of the 60-day peace agreement framework the two countries reached earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump said Iran requested a meeting, which <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116833168246538290\">he revealed<\/a> will take place in Doha, Qatar, on Tuesday.
