The US President says it’s up to Iranian leaders to convince him to halt the war, or they'll be Iran's "worst nightmare." 

Attacks on Israel, Iran, and Lebanon continue, with the Israeli military stating it's killed an Iranian navy chief overseeing the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. 

The US claims it's presented a 15-point plan to Iran and negotiations are taking place –which Tehran has denied.

He says the war and diplomacy are once again at an impasse.
