President Donald Trump has placed Iran under an economic siege, cutting off its trading partners with a 25% tariff amidst continuing bloodshed in the country. The President’s order, announced on Truth Social, is “final and conclusive,” targeting nations like China and India that provide economic lifelines to the regime. The move comes as reports confirm over 600 deaths in anti-government protests. Trump’s strategy is to isolate the regime financially while it faces a domestic revolution.
The violence in Iran is horrific. The regime is killing protesters and arresting thousands. The internet has been shut down to prevent the world from seeing the carnage. Trump has positioned himself as the defender of the Iranian people, using the tariffs to punish their tormentors. The evacuation of French diplomats underscores the severity of the crisis.
China has reacted with anger, calling the tariffs “long-arm jurisdiction.” Beijing refuses to accept U.S. interference in its trade. However, the 25% tariff is a massive disincentive for companies to continue business with Iran. It forces a decoupling of the Iranian economy from the global market.
The White House is also keeping military options open. Airstrikes are being considered, adding to the regime’s fears. The administration claims that private messages from Tehran show a government in panic. Trump is tightening the noose, hoping to force a change in leadership or behavior.
The Supreme Court’s review of the tariffs is ongoing, but the policy is already in effect. The economic siege is real. Trump is using the power of the U.S. market to enforce a blockade on Iran. The world must now decide whether to defy the U.S. and pay the price or abandon Iran to its fate.
