President Donald Trump and his national security advisers met on Monday local time to discuss the new proposal from Iran.
The content is not known in full, but according to information provided to Axios, Iran wants to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war - and postpone talks on nuclear energy until a later date. The nuclear energy issue and Iran's uranium enrichment have been among the US's main stated reasons for the war since day one.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says in an interview with Fox News that Iran is looking to buy itself more time.
They are skilled negotiators, and we need to make sure we reach an agreement that prevents them from developing nuclear weapons.
Donald Trump has not commented on the proposal, but according to sources cited by CNN and The Wall Street Journal, the president is skeptical.
