Donald Trump has once again shaken the geopolitical landscape—this time with an uncompromising move against countries that continue trading with Iran. In a statement posted Monday on Truth Social, Trump declared that any such country will face an automatic 25% tariff on all trade with the United States. According to him, the order is final and effective immediately.
“Effective immediately, any country trading with the Islamic Republic of Iran will pay a 25% tariff on all trade conducted with the United States of America,” Trump wrote.
Iran Under Pressure: Protests, Internet Blackouts, and Economic Damage
Trump’s threat comes at a critical time. Iran is facing massive anti-government protests, during which there have been violent clashes and a nationwide internet blackout lasting over 96 hours.
According to NetBlocks, Iran is essentially offline—citizens lack access to the internet and regular telecommunications. This has paralyzed local business and everyday life. Political researcher Sharareh Abdolhoseinzadeh noted that similar blackouts in the past cost Iran up to 43% of its annual oil revenue.
Trump Pressures Iran and the World – and Doesn’t Rule Out Military Action
In recent weeks, Trump has vocally supported Iranian demonstrators, warning that violent suppression of the protests could trigger a U.S. military response. According to The New York Times, Trump has been presented with strike options targeting Iran’s nuclear and missile sites.
IEEPA Back in Play—But Is It Legal?
Trump is once again invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose these tariffs without Congressional approval. However, the legality of this move remains uncertain. The Supreme Court is currently reviewing whether Trump’s earlier tariffs—including reciprocal tariffs from April—meet the legal criteria.
Conclusion:
Trump’s move sends a clear message to the world—trade with Iran comes with consequences. The question now is how major U.S. trade partners will respond and whether the threat of military action could soon become reality.
