New Delhi, Jan 13: US President Donald Trump has announced a 25% tariff on goods from countries that have commercial ties with Iran, a move aimed at increasing pressure on Tehran as anti-government protests enter their third week, the BBC reported.
According to the BBC, Trump said on social media that the tariff would be “effective immediately”, but did not clarify what activities would qualify as “doing business” with Iran. “Any Country doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran will pay a Tariff of 25% on any and all business being done with the United States of America,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding that the order was “final and conclusive”.
