"Low credibility": Scepticism over Trump's latest claims of potential deal with Iran

There’s scepticism about whether Donald Trump's talk of a breakthrough with Iran is genuine.
The US President's calling off scheduled strikes hours after threatening to cause even more severe damage.
He says the final points of a peace deal have been agreed by both sides.
Iranian officials are yet to confirm and are instead pointing out previous contradictions in Trump's statements.
Former US General Randy Manner told Heather du Plessis-Allan he just doesn't believe Trump.
He says Trump's done this almost three dozen times over the past few months, so the President doesn't have much credibility left.
Manner says Trump's well aware that Iran retains strategic power via the Strait of Hormuz – they can hold the entire world hostage at any time, due to the nuclear threat.
