President Donald Trump has imposed a sweeping tariff on “any and all business” done with Iran, taxing trading partners at a rate of 25%. The comprehensive nature of the order leaves no loopholes. It is a total economic blockade enforced by the U.S. Treasury. The move targets every country that has maintained ties with Tehran, forcing a global decoupling.
The crisis in Iran is the reason. The regime is killing protesters. Trump is using the tariffs to stop the flow of money. The evacuation of French diplomats shows the urgency.
China has rejected the order, calling it “illicit.” Beijing views the sweeping nature of the tariff as an act of aggression. The dispute could disrupt global trade.
The White House is also threatening airstrikes. The administration claims the regime is privately seeking a way out. Trump is using the tariffs to force a surrender.
The Supreme Court is reviewing the tariff power, but the sweeping order is in effect. Trump’s “any and all” language shows his intent. The 25% tariff is a blunt instrument designed to crush the Iranian economy once and for all.
