Trump says Iran has requested a meeting, but Iranian officials say nothing has been scheduled

Amidst escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, President Trump announced a potential meeting with Iran in Doha, though Iranian officials denied any scheduled talks. Iran's president claimed $6 billion in frozen assets would be released by Qatar, a move seen as bolstering public support for an interim deal. Recent attacks on cargo ships have disrupted vital oil transit, raising global energy concerns and complicating diplomatic efforts.
