New developments tonight in the war in Iran. 
Tonight with talks stalled and the straight of Hormuz closed, Vladimir Putin now welcoming a top Iranian diplomat to Russia vowing to support Iran. 
And what ABC News has learned about an Iranian proposal, the White House is now weighing. 
Here's Martha Ratitz on that. 
Tonight, with the straight of Hormuz still shot down and US Iran peace talks stalled, Vladimir Putin now taking the stage, meeting face to face with Iran's foreign minister Abbas Aarachi in Russia. 
>> Putin pledging support for Iran, telling he wants peace soon. 
In Washington today, the president meeting with his national security team. 
Officials telling ABC News the White House discussing an Iranian proposal to reopen the critical straight of Hormuz in exchange for allowing the regime to profit from ships passing through and leaving nuclear talks for some future date. 
Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying if Iran plans to charge tolls for ships in the strait, that is unacceptable. 
If what they mean by opening the straits is get our permission or we'll blow you up and you pay us, that's not opening the straits. 
>> And David, the administration has been very clear about what has to happen in the straight of Hormuz, insisting that anything short of a return to the pre-war status quo in the strait is a non-starter. 
David >> Martha Ratitz from Washington. 
Thank you.
