U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 25% tariff on any country doing business with Iran, effective immediately. This move aims to increase pressure on Tehran amid widespread anti-government protests and a rising death toll. The tariffs could impact major trading partners like China, India, and the UAE, potentially affecting sectors like agriculture and energy. While the White House stated diplomacy remains the first option, military action is also being considered. Iran, meanwhile, maintains communication channels with the U.S. and asserts readiness for defense.
