00:00Trump slaps 25% tariff on countries doing business with Iran

00:05President Donald Trump moved forcefully on trade policy, issuing what he called a sweeping

00:10and non-negotiable order aimed at isolating Iran from the global economy.

00:15According to Fox News, the announcement came via Truth Social, where Trump said the United

00:19States would immediately penalize any nation that continues commercial ties with the Islamic

00:24Republic of Iran.

00:26Under the directive, countries that do business with Iran would face a 25% tariff on all trade

00:31conducted with the United States.

00:33Trump emphasized that the decision was not open to revision or delay.

00:38Effective immediately, any country doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran will pay a

00:42tariff of 25% on any business being done with the United States of America.

00:47This order is final and conclusive.

00:50Thank you for your attention to this matter," the President wrote.

00:54The Post signaled a sharp escalation in economic pressure, framing the move as a decisive step

00:59rather than a negotiating tactic.

01:02Trump did not reference exemptions or timelines.

01:04Instead, he underscored the immediacy of the order and its universal application to foreign

01:09partners engaged with Iran.

01:11The announcement arrives as Iran faces mounting internal turmoil.

01:15The country has entered its 14th straight day of widespread protests and unrest, with reports

01:20indicating that hundreds of people have been killed amid the escalating violence.

01:25The unrest has intensified international scrutiny of Tehran and added urgency to the Trump administration's

01:31posture toward the regime.

01:33While Trump did not directly cite the protests in his statement, the timing of the order placed

01:38the trade action squarely within a broader moment of heightened tension involving Iran.

01:43The President's message made clear that the United States intends to use its economic leverage

01:47to force a stark choice on the world stage, maintain access to U.S. markets, or continue doing

01:53business with Tehran.
