President Donald Trump declared on Wednesday via Truth Social that any country selling arms to Iran would be subjected to a 50% tariff on all goods sold to the United States.
This rule, effective immediately, will have no exceptions or exemptions.
Furthermore, Trump disclosed that the U.S. has been closely collaborating with Iran to ensure that uranium enrichment would be halted and all deeply buried nuclear “dust” would be removed under strict satellite surveillance.
The president also stated that discussions on tariffs and sanctions relief with Iran are ongoing, with many of the 15 points already agreed upon.
Trump Plans Hormuz Traffic Management
After Tuesday’s two-week ceasefire announcement, Trump revealed that the U.S. would assist in managing the traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for oil transportation. He had hinted at substantial financial gains, stating, “Big money will be made,” and suggested that Iran could start its reconstruction process, with the U.S. providing various supplies and ensuring a smooth transition.
Meanwhile, Iran ordered all military units to halt fire but stressed the war is not over. Negotiations with the U.S. are set to begin in Islamabad on April 11, with Vice President JD Vance expected to lead the U.S. delegation.
