'No limits' to US power, says Trump after Iran deal

US President Donald Trump has declared that American power knows "no limits," dismissing suggestions that the recent conflict with Iran revealed constraints on U.S. capabilities. His remarks came shortly after the formalization of a peace agreement through a digitally signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at ending hostilities and reopening the vital Strait of Hormuz.

I haven't learned that lesson yet. I know there are, but there are no limits.

Speaking in an interview, Trump was asked about lessons learned regarding the limits of his power during the Iran conflict. He responded, "I haven't learned that lesson yet. I know there are, but there are no limits." This statement follows his initial demand for Iran's "unconditional surrender," which ultimately led to the MoU.

Despite critics arguing that the agreement represented a retreat from earlier U.S. demands, Trump characterized the outcome as a "total military victory" for Washington. He further asserted that the MoU itself constituted a form of surrender by Tehran, citing the effectiveness of the U.S. naval blockade that prevented ships from passing through the strait.

We defeated them totally militarily.

However, Trump also acknowledged the significant economic risks associated with a prolonged conflict. He explained that extending military action could have disrupted global oil supplies for months, potentially triggering a worldwide depression. The agreement, which allows Iran to continue uranium enrichment under certain conditions and includes phased sanctions relief, reflects a complex balance between military pressure and economic considerations.

This is the kind of thing that could cause a worldwide depression.
