Tonight, the president walks back his threat of the third day of airstrikes on Iran and again claims he's on the verge of a peace deal.

New reporting on the effort to use the agency for Trump's retribution as the 11th hour gets underway on this Thursday night.

145 days away from the midterms. This morning, Donald Trump threatened a third straight day

of strikes on Iran. Then he abruptly announced those strikes would not happen because some sort of

deal was imminent. Of course, we've heard the president make that claim

many, many times over the last couple of months, and absolutely no deal has happened.

Here's what the president said this afternoon when a reporter asked when this actual deal
