Meanwhile, Iranian and US technical teams working on the implementation of the MoU are set to meet in Doha in the coming days, a source with knowledge of the talks tells Reuters.

Mediators have established communications channels to de-escalate any incidents, and technical talks are set to continue, the source adds.
