President Trump told ABC News he expects an agreement with Iran within a week to
extend a ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, saying progress is "going
well." He described a recent incident as a "hiccup" that he quickly resolved,
saying it arose from Iranian anger over an Israeli strike in Lebanon. Trump said
he phoned Hezbollah and Prime Minister Netanyahu, told both to stop firing, and
that shooting ceased. He called a peace agreement potentially "even better than
a military victory" and said he has not yet signed a memorandum to reopen the
strait because several key terms still need to be finalized.
