United States President Donald Trump has warned that any country found supplying military weapons to Iran will face an immediate 50 per cent tariff on all goods exported to the United States.
Trump made the declaration on Wednesday, saying the measure would take effect immediately and would apply without any form of exemption.
According to him, any nation that provides arms to Iran would be subjected to the tariff as part of a hardline response from his administration.
In a separate statement, Trump also disclosed that his administration is currently engaged in discussions with Iran over possible tariff adjustments and sanctions relief.
His remarks came just hours after he announced a temporary ceasefire arrangement with Tehran, following an agreement that would allow for the temporary reopening of the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.
The warning marks a fresh escalation in the United States’ posture toward countries seen as supporting Iran militarily, while also signalling the possibility of diplomatic and economic negotiations between both sides.
The Strait of Hormuz, a major global oil transit route, remains a key focus in the ongoing tensions involving Iran and the United States.
