Insights

  • Trump's announcement of *5* per cent tariff on any nation trading with Iran raises the stakes for its trading partners, forcing a rethink of Tehran ties versus access to the US market.
  • China, Iran's largest trading partner, many believe, faces high stakes in view of the additional tariffs.
  • Other trading partners will also now have to navigate the growing uncertainty as geopolitics reshapes trade ties.

The unrest has not only shaken Iran internally but is now rippling across the global political and trade landscape.

From Washington, the rhetoric has sharpened. US President Donald Trump has reportedly warned Tehran of “very strong action” if it proceeds with executions of protesters, even as he unveiled a sweeping trade threat aimed not just at Iran but at its trading partners.
