On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump issued a warning against arming Iran and threatened to impose immediate 50% tariffs on any nation that does so.

“A Country supplying Military Weapons to Iran will be immediately tariffed, on any and all goods sold to the United States of America, 50%, effective immediately. There will be no exclusions or exemptions,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform.

A few hours after announcing a temporary ceasefire with Tehran, which had agreed to temporarily reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz, he also stated in a separate post that his administration is “talking Tariff and Sanctions relief with Iran.”
