President Donald Trump said on June 2, 2026 that a US-Iran agreement to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz could land "over the next week" — even as Iranian state media reported suspended indirect talks over Israel's Lebanon offensive and oil markets priced Hormuz closure risk.
Trump told ABC News there was a "little glitch" on June 1 when Iran reacted to Israeli strikes, but claimed he "turned that one around very quickly" by pressing Israel and Hezbollah to stop shooting.
Two Narratives on the Same Morning
| Source | Message |
|---|---|
| Tasnim / Iranian media | Talks halted until Lebanon issues addressed |
| Trump (ABC + Truth Social) | Talks at "rapid pace"; deal possible within ~7 days |
| Oil traders | Price spike on Hormuz closure headlines in some outlets |
This split is structurally familiar: Tehran uses pause threats as leverage; Washington uses optimism to cap oil volatility and keep allies calm.
What Trump Claimed He Did on June 1
In the ABC interview (published June 2 morning IST):
- Iran was upset about Israeli action in Lebanon
- He spoke with "Hezbollah" through representatives and Netanyahu
- Both sides agreed to stop shooting — temporarily averting a Dahiyeh escalation
- A full deal still needs "a few more points"
- Peace with Iran could exceed a pure military victory
