United States President Donald Trump has announced a new policy imposing a twenty-five percent tariff on any country conducting business with the Islamic Republic of Iran. This move comes amid ongoing anti-government protests in Iran and is seen as an effort to increase pressure on the Iranian leadership. Trump stated that the order is final and signaled a willingness to consider both military and diplomatic options in response to Iran's actions against protesters. The president also mentioned that Iranian officials have shown interest in nuclear negotiations, but he has not ruled out the possibility of a military strike.
