Trump signs order threatening tariffs on nations doing business with Iran
The order establishes a multi-agency process to identify and impose tariffs up to 25% on countries trading with Iran to pressure the regime over nuclear and regional issues.
- On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump signed the executive order enabling tariffs on goods from countries that do business with Iran, effective at 12:01 a.m. on Feb. 7, 2026.
- Facing mass protests inside Iran, U.S. officials moved to increase pressure as The White House said the tariff targets Iran's nuclear program, terrorism support, missile development and regional destabilization amid Oman talks.
- The Secretary of Commerce is to investigate which countries still trade with Iran and report findings to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who, consulting the USTR and DHS, may impose tariffs up to 25%.
- The order risks disrupting trade with key partners such as China, India, Turkey, Russia, Germany and the United Arab Emirates, while critics warn it could raise prices for American consumers and includes a retaliation clause.
- The White House said departments of State and Commerce received authority to monitor trade routes, and Trump noted penalties could be scaled back if Iran or partners take significant steps, with further meetings planned.
