Iran has requested high-level talks with the US amid a fragile ceasefire, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed. US officials will head to Doha as President Donald Trump continues to press Tehran to accept a deal.
Leavitt warned that any renewed attacks will be met with force, saying ‘violence will be met with violence.’ The US responded to attacks on commercial vessels, and Leavitt stated that the president wants to see the peace process play out.
US-Iran Talks
Special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are slated to head to Doha as the US and Iran continue to discuss the memorandum of understanding (MOU). Leavitt said Americans can expect to see gas prices continue to ‘tumble’ if the MOU plays out as expected.
The breaking news comes after US Central Command (CENTCOM) launched airstrikes against Iranian targets, including Qeshm Island, on June 26 after a vessel was struck in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) retaliated by targeting US military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain.
