The previous Iranian proposal would have seen trapped oil and gas tankers moving again through the vital Strait of Hormuz, but it would have pushed talks on Iran's nuclear program to a later stage.

Trump, according to comments he made to Axios, rejected that offer after meeting with his national security team on Monday.

Iran's state news agency, IRNA, says Iran has now delivered a new text for negotiation to mediator Pakistan with the aim of ending the war that the U.S.

and Israel launched two months ago.

Iran's president, however, was quoted by Erna saying Iran's ready for diplomacy if the U.S.

ends its maximalist approach.

The U.S.

and Iran have only met once since the ceasefire came into effect.

Those talks in Pakistan ended without an agreement.
