Iran has offered to end its control over the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. lifts its blockade and ends the war. That's according to regional officials. The proposal that emerged Monday would delay discussions on Iran’s nuclear program. U.S. President Donald Trump seems unlikely to accept the offer, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio appeared to rule out any deal that excludes Iran's nuclear program.

Iran has offered to end its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz without addressing its nuclear program. Two officials with knowledge of the proposal said Monday that Iran also wants the United States to ends its blockade of the country as part of its proposal.

Pakistan's leaders are working to bridge significant gaps between the two countries to revive the talks.

Melania Trump said Monday on social media that people like Kimmel “shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.” The president said Kimmel's words were “beyond the pale.”
