Investing.com -- Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday that the United States will not accept Iran retaining control over passage through the Strait of Hormuz, following the cancellation of negotiations between Washington and Tehran over the weekend.

Speaking on Fox News, Rubio responded to reports that Iran had proposed reopening the strait after talks collapsed. He said the U.S. cannot allow Iran to determine which vessels can transit the waterway or impose tolls on shipping.

"If what they mean by opening the straits is, 'yes, the straits are opened, as long as you coordinate with Iran, get our permission, or we will blow you up and you pay us,' — that's not opening the straits," Rubio said. "They cannot normalize — nor can we tolerate them trying to normalize — a system in which the Iranians decide who gets to use an international waterway and how much you have to pay them to use it."

According to Axios, Iran submitted a proposal to the U.S. to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war, while delaying more complex discussions about its nuclear program. President Donald Trump and other U.S. officials have stated that Iran's nuclear activities were the primary reason for the U.S. and Israeli military action against Tehran.

The Strait of Hormuz, which typically handles one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas exports, has been closed since the U.S. and Israel attacked Tehran in late February. The strait was initially shut due to Iranian threats, and the U.S. is now enforcing a naval blockade to prevent Iran-linked vessels from using the waterway.

The strait has remained closed despite a ceasefire that has largely held since early April.
