Trump Announces 25% Tariffs on Countries Trading with Iran

Donald Trump has announced the imposition of a 25% tariff on countries that continue to trade with Iran, as part of an escalation of pressure on the Islamic Republic. The decision, which came into immediate effect, is not subject to negotiation, according to him. Trump stated that this move aims to further economically isolate Iran, amid ongoing anti-regime protests. The announcement appears to primarily target countries such as Russia, China, and North Korea, which maintain trade relations with Iran.
