The technical teams are reported to meet in Doha still in order to work on the implementation of the memorandum of understanding. And that comes despite a bit of a hiccup over the weekend as both sides had a bit of a scuffle.

For some context, Iran took a shot at a commercial cargo vessel, the Kiku, in the Strait of Hormuz. After which, that saw the US retaliate in conducting multiple rounds of airstrikes inside Iran over Saturday and Sunday. In response, Iran also then launched drone and missile attacks targeting US military assets across the Gulf region.

But as the weekend drew to a close, both sides abruptly agreed to pull back from the brink in order to salvage talks this week.

As a reminder, the technical talks now will mostly involve nuclear discussions over the next 60 days. And these will be the key argument points that both sides need to settle on, which seems implausible at this stage.
