U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said the White House is expecting a response proposal on May 8 from the Iranian regime about ending the war, coming as American and Iranian forces clashed in the region in recent days.

“We’re expecting a response from them today at some point. We have not received that yet,” Rubio told reporters on Friday while he was visiting with the Pope in Italy about negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
