Iran says a delegation of experts will travel to Doha this week for discussions on the implementation of the memorandum of understanding signed with the United States earlier this month, AFP reports.

“An expert delegation from the Islamic Republic of Iran will travel to Doha later this week” to discuss the implementation of clauses of the memorandum, foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei says.

“We have not yet entered the stage of negotiating a final agreement,” he adds, noting that “over the coming days, we will not have any negotiation meetings with the US side at any level”.
