US envoys travel to Doha amid confusion over Iran peace talks following weekend military clashes

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in Doha to meet with mediators, but Qatar clarified no direct high-level talks with Iran are scheduled, contradicting President Trump's claims that Iran agreed to negotiations. The diplomatic confusion follows weekend military exchanges in the Strait of Hormuz that threatened a fragile ceasefire brokered by Pakistan and Qatar less than two weeks ago.
