US President Donald Trump continued to make threats and claims of annihilation even as the US and Iran weighed a framework plan to end their five-week-old conflict.
He also threatened an unspecified media outlet with jail time if it does not reveal the person who 'leaked' information about a US military pilot who was missing in Iran.
Tehran said it wanted a lasting end to the war, but pushed back against pressure to swiftly reopen the Strait of Hormuz under a temporary ceasefire.
The Iranian response consisted of 10 clauses, including an end to conflicts in the region, a protocol for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, lifting of sanctions, and reconstruction.
Trump has threatened to rain 'hell' on Tehran if it does not make a deal by 8 pm EDT, April 7 Tuesday that would allow traffic to start moving again through the vital route for global energy supplies.
