Global Shock: Trump Slaps 25% Tariff on Iran Trading Nations
US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that his administration has imposed a 25% tariff on goods imported from countries that have commercial ties with Iran. The move is intended to increase economic pressure on Tehran as anti-government protests enter their third week, fueling unrest across the country.
 
In a post shared on social media, Trump stated that the new tariff would be "effective immediately," although he did not specify which activities or transactions would be considered "doing business" with Iran. The lack of specific details has raised questions among global trading partners about how the policy will be implemented.
 
Iran's major trading partners include China, the United Arab Emirates, India, and Turkey, all of which could be affected by this new measure. Analysts say the move could have significant repercussions for global trade and diplomatic relations, particularly in the Middle East.
 
This tariff announcement follows Trump's recent warning that the United States could intervene militarily if Iranian authorities violently suppress the protesters. White House spokeswoman Carolyn Leavitt confirmed on Monday that all military options, including airstrikes, are "on the table."
