“IRAN HAS REQUESTED A MEETING. IT WILL TAKE PLACE TOMORROW IN DOHA!,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

There was no immediate reaction from Iran, although a senior Iranian official had denied that any technical talks were expected to take place in Doha over the coming days. CNBC has contacted Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is awaiting a response.

Trump’s post comes after the U.S. and Iran exchanged a series of strikes over the weekend that threatened to derail negotiations aimed at ending the conflict.

U.S. officials said both sides would pause hostilities and allow commercial vessels to transit the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

Located in the gulf between Oman and Iran, the Strait of Hormuz is recognized as one of the world’s most critical energy chokepoints. The narrow waterway typically handles around 20% of the world’s oil traffic.

In separate Truth Social posts earlier on Monday, Trump welcomed the recent decline in oil and gas prices, noting that U.S. crude oil prices had fallen to levels last seen before the start of the Iran war on Feb. 28.
