In a recent interview, US President Donald Trump revealed that a deal with Iran to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz might be reached within a week. He emphasized the importance of a peace agreement, suggesting it could be 'even better than a military victory.' Trump claimed to have facilitated a halt in hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, stating that both parties agreed to cease attacks after his intervention. He communicated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hezbollah representatives to broker this temporary truce.
