Trump Warns of 50% Tariff on Nations Aiding Iran

On Wednesday, Donald Trump issued a warning via his Truth Social platform, stating that countries supplying military weapons to Iran would face significant economic sanctions, including a potential 50% tariff on goods exported to the United States. This warning comes amid rising geopolitical tensions between Washington and Tehran and signals a hardline stance against nations perceived to support Iran.

Trump indicated that countries found aiding Iran militarily would meet immediate economic retaliation. Despite his tough rhetoric, he hinted at possible diplomatic engagement with Tehran, suggesting a dual-track approach that combines pressure with negotiations.

Earlier, Trump commented on a ceasefire agreement reportedly reached between Washington and Tehran, which he rejected, accusing CNN of spreading misinformation regarding the deal. He attributed the ceasefire statement to Iran's Supreme National Security Council, claiming it was a major victory for Iran, while he dismissed the report as unreliable.
