Talaaq during iddat

Q: My husband gave me divorce on 13 June 2016. It was a talaq-e-bain. Again on 18 august 2016 in anger he gave me oral divorce on the phone saying in the presence of Allah I am giving you talaaq 3 times. My question is whether this talaq is considered as my final talaq or can we both revoke our nikaah? Is it halaal or not?
