U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that any country supplying military weapons to Iran will face a steep 50% tariff on all goods exported to the United States. The move comes shortly after a temporary ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran, aimed at easing escalating tensions. Trump stated there would be no exemptions, signaling a strict stance to deter foreign military support to Tehran. The policy is expected to impact nations like China and Russia. Analysts view this as a strategic pressure tactic, combining trade measures with diplomacy to limit Iran’s military capabilities. (PC: AFP)
