JD Vance says Iran's denial of Doha talks 'Persian negotiating tactic'
Iran says no direct meeting is scheduled, while Qatari mediators and U.S. envoys continue lower-level technical talks over a ceasefire and the Strait of Hormuz.
- Iranian officials ruled out direct meetings with American envoys in Doha on Tuesday, casting doubt on peace talks while Vice President JD Vance asserted the Trump administration remains in a "great position" regardless of the outcome.
- Negotiations aim to finalize a ceasefire framework established two weeks ago, with 60 days of talks planned to work out permanent peace terms as Iran claims sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and disputes control of the waterway.
- Vance warned on Wednesday that any Iranian attempts to collect tolls on ships through the Strait would trigger an American military response, adding that "This is not going to end in a place where the Iranians are collecting tolls."
- Facing diplomatic deadlock, President Donald Trump has weighed returning to military action, holding discussions with Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine about conducting additional strikes.
- As the 60-day negotiation period expires in mid-August, Iranian officials plan to impose tolls on the Strait, though the American government maintains Iran will be prevented from charging fees through the international waterway.
