It’s been more than two months since President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran, saying at the time that the two sides were close to a deal to end the war.

Since then, Trump has repeatedly suggested that a permanent deal was right around the corner. The CNN NewsNight panel debates these declarations.
