Tehran has offered a new deal to the U.S. in order to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and bring an end to the war in Iran.
The new deal, sent via Pakistani mediators, would postpone nuclear negotiations to a later stage, according to officials.
In the nearer term, the deal would see Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the U.S. ending its blockade on Iranian ports.
The absence of any nuclear concession is a critical one, given President Donald Trump's insistence that preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon is the single most important point for the U.S. in negotiations.
“We have all the cards. If they want to talk, they can come to us, or they can call us,” Trump told Fox News on Sunday.
