Iran will hold talks with mediator Qatar tomorrow regarding its frozen assets, the Iranian foreign ministry has said, denying that any meeting with the United States is planned in the Gulf state.

“What is expected to take place in Doha, probably tomorrow, will be discussions regarding the implementation of provisions of the memorandum of understanding, including the provision concerning the release of Iran’s restricted assets, and these discussions will be held with the Qatari side,” AFP quoted foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei as telling reporters at a weekly press conference.
