WASHINGTON \u2014 President Donald Trump signaled that the United States and Iran could finalize an agreement within the next week to extend an interim ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, projecting confidence about the diplomatic track despite fresh regional friction and conflicting signals from Tehran.<\/p>\n

In a telephone interview with ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl,<\/h2>\n

Trump described the backchannel negotiations as \u201clooking good,\u201d even as he acknowledged that discussions had hit a temporary snag earlier in the day. \u201cThere was a little glitch today, but I turned that one around very quickly,\u201d Trump said. According to the president, diplomatic momentum faltered after Tehran bristled at expanded Israeli military strikes in<\/p>\n

Lebanon. Trump claimed he intervened directly with both parties, pressing for an immediate de-escalation to preserve the delicate U. S. -Iranian dialogue.

agreement with Iran could be even better than a military victory,\u201d he said.

While suggesting the document could be completed within seven days, Trump conceded that key sticking points remain on the table. \u201cI still have to<\/p>\n

get a few more points,\u201d he added, without detailing the outstanding concessions.
