President Donald Trump said his power had "no limits" during a recent interview when he was asked about the Iran war.
The interview, with Axios' Marc Caputo, showed the reporter asking him, "What have you learned about, not just the exercises of power, but the limits on your power, as a result of the [Iran] conflict?"
"There are no limits. None. I haven't learned that lesson yet," Trump responded and added, "I know there are, but there are no limits. We defeated them totally, militarily."

The United States' war in Iran seems to be slowing down after the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to end the conflict and open up the Strait of Hormuz. The 14-point document outlines the complete framework of the MOU negotiated between the U.S. and Iran last weekend.
The agreement includes measures to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and requires the U.S. to immediately end its naval blockade of Iran and suspend oil sanctions on the nation pending a final agreement.
More importantly it included a $300 billion payment to Iran for its "reconstruction and economic development". This detail has caused many in the United States to question if more taxpayer money will be used to pay Iran.

Senator Bill Cassidy called the agreement the "worst foreign policy blunder in decades." Cassidy lost his recent primary when voters in Louisiana advanced his two challengers to a runoff election after Trump rallied against the incumbent and called him a "a disloyal disaster."
"Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive," Cassidy said. "Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades."
In an interview with the Daily Wire, Republican Senator Ted Cruz said that he wanted to see more details about the agreement, but said elements of what was made public appeared to be "ill-advised."

"What has been released so far suggests that, unfortunately, the president is getting, I think, very poor advice when it comes to this deal," Cruz said. "History teaches that giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is a bad idea."
Following the war, Trump's approval ratings overall have also hit an all-time low with only 30% surveyed Americans approving of his tenure so far. When it comes to the war in Iran, too, only 24% of Americans agreed with the administration's handling of the conflict.
