Iran says no technical working-group talks planned this week

Iranian deputy foreign minister said on Monday that no technical working-group meetings under the US memorandum of understanding had been planned for this week, IRGC-linked Tasnim News reported.

Kazem Gharibabadi said consultations with Qatar were continuing but reports by some media of technical talks in Doha were not confirmed.

He said the first round of technical talks would be held once conditions were in place and after agreement on the date and venue, with consultations continuing through mediators.

Reuters reported earlier that Iranian and US technical teams working on the implementation of a memorandum of understanding were set to meet in Doha in the coming days.
