Following the announcement of a fragile two-week ceasefire, U.S. President Donald Trump warned on Wednesday that any country found supplying military weapons to Iran will face an immediate 50% tariff on all goods sold to the United States.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated there would be “no exclusions or exemptions” for affected nations, a move aimed at pressuring Iran’s military suppliers—specifically targeting the supply chains of countries like China and Russia. The directive was issued just hours after Washington and Tehran agreed to the Pakistan-mediated truce, which is set to lead to formal negotiations in Islamabad this Friday, April 10.
