U.S. imposes 25% tariffs on nations trading with Iran over protests and regional threats, urging allies to sever ties.

The U.S. announced 25% tariffs on countries trading with Iran, citing Iran’s violent crackdown on protesters and regional threats. President Trump made the announcement on social media, warning of potential military action and urging allies to sever economic ties. The move targets nations like China, Turkey, Brazil, and Russia, though no specific countries were named or enforcement details provided. The U.S. also advised American citizens in Iran to leave due to escalating violence and internet blackouts. The policy reflects a hardening stance amid ongoing unrest sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, which has led to hundreds of deaths and widespread international concern.
