Donald Trump announced via Truth Social that any country conducting business with Iran will face a 25% tariff on all trade with the United States, effective immediately. This announcement comes as the US considers its response to ongoing anti-government protests in Iran. While top export destinations for Iranian goods include China, the UAE, and India, it remains unclear if the tariffs would target all of Iran's trading partners. The White House has not yet released official documentation or clarified the legal authority for the tariffs. Despite considering options like airstrikes, the White House maintains that diplomacy remains the primary approach, noting ongoing communication with Iran.
