Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Threatens 25% Tariffs on Countries Trading With Iran
Caption: Trump Threatens 25% Tariffs on Countries Trading With Iran. President Donald Trump says any country that continues doing business with Iran will face a sweeping 25% tariff on all trade with the United States. The warning came as Iran experiences its largest anti-government protests in years. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the order would take effect immediately, calling it "final and conclusive” though the White House has yet to release formal details or clarify the legal authority behind the move. Iran, a heavily sanctioned OPEC member, exports most of its oil to China, with India, Turkey, Iraq, and the UAE also among its key trading partners. China quickly pushed back, accusing Washington of unilateral pressure and warning it would defend its interests. Japan and South Korea said they are closely monitoring the situation. Meanwhile, unrest inside Iran has intensified, with hundreds reported dead since protests erupted late last year. The White House says diplomacy remains the first option—but pressure is clearly rising. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
