President Donald Trump told ABC News he thinks he will have an agreement with Iran to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz “over the next week”.

“Looking good, looking good,” he told ABC News’ chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl in a telephone conversation.

“There was a little glitch today, but I turned that one around very quickly, as you probably noticed earlier,” Trump said.

The glitch, according to the president, was that the Iranians were upset about Israel’s attacks on Lebanon.

“So, I spoke with Hezbollah, and I said no shooting, and I talked to Bibi [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu], and said, no shooting, and they both stopped shooting each other,” Trump said.
