Trump places 25% tariff on Iran's trade partners as US weighs military action

Описание: President Donald Trump announced on Monday a 25% tariff on any country doing business with Iran.
He added on Sunday that he's weighing military action against Iran’s leadership as nationwide anti-government protests there enter a third week and the reported death toll climbs past 500.
At least 544 people have been killed since demonstrations erupted across Iran, according to human rights groups monitoring the unrest. The protests, initially sparked by severe economic pressures, have evolved into widespread calls for regime change, with demonstrators openly chanting anti-government slogans — even during funeral processions for those killed.
“There seem to be some people killed who aren’t supposed to be killed,” Trump said on Air Force One as he travelled back to Washington from Florida. “The military is looking at it. And we’re looking at some very strong options.”
Iranian leaders, meanwhile, are issuing warnings while signaling openness to talks. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Monday that Tehran does not want war but is prepared for it.
