US President Donald Trump says a meeting between American and Iranian officials will take place in Doha on Tuesday. Trump said Iran requested the talks in the Qatari capital but did not provide further details. But earlier, Iran had said there's no such plan. In the past few days, Iran has fired on ships that were passing through the Strait of Hormuz. And the US launched strikes against Iranian sites in response to those attacks. All this despite both sides signing the memorandum of understanding (MoU) that brought in a ceasefire. Iran insists all ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz must coordinate with the Revolutionary Guard. Tehran says the safest routes pass near Iran's Hormuz and Larak islands, close to the nation's southern coast. Al Jazeera’s Mike Hanna reports from the White House and Resul Serdar is monitoring developments in Tehran.
