Turkey says Qatar will host Vance and Rezaei next week; Iranian official denies plan

Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin said Qatar would host US Vice President JD Vance and Iranian security official Mohsen Rezaei for talks next week. An Iranian official quoted by Tasnim denied any such meeting was planned, saying Tehran will not negotiate until Washington acts on its seven conditions. Mediators are working on a plan trading sanctions relief and frozen funds for nuclear commitments and a reopened Hormuz; the main dispute is who moves first.
