US President Donald Trump hinted that an agreement with Iran to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz may be sealed “over the next week.”
In an interview with ABC News, Trump said a peace
agreement with Iran could be “even better than a military victory.”
Iran had earlier called off the negotiations over Israel’s continued strikes in Lebanon. However, Trump intervened and spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hezbollah representatives. He later announced that Israel and Hezbollah would not attack each other.
“There was a little glitch today, but I turned that one around very quickly, as you probably noticed earlier. So, I spoke with Hezbollah, and I said no shooting, and I talked to Bibi [Netanyahu], and said, no shooting, and they both stopped shooting each other,” Trump said
When asked when the deal would happen, Trump said, “I think you’re talking about over the next week.”
