--US Trump: Will work closely with Iran, talking tariff and sanctions relief 

--Trump: Iran has already agreed to many of the 15 points from US proposal 

 

MUMBAI – The US is working with Iran on tariff and sanctions relief, President Donald Trump said hours after the two countries agreed to a two-week ceasefire. Trump also said that the US, effective immediately, will impose a 50% tariff on countries supplying military weapons to Iran.

 

"The United States will work closely with Iran, which we have determined has gone through what will be a very productive Regime Change! There will be no enrichment of Uranium, and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried (B-2 Bombers) Nuclear 'Dust'", Trump said in a post on Truth Social. Iran has already agreed to many of the 15 points of the proposed US peace plan, Trump said.

 

After over a month of war, the US and Iran early Wednesday agreed to a two-week ceasefire in order to negotiate a definitive agreement for peace between the warring parties. Iran will open the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks.

 

Trump, in a separate post, said that any country supplying military weapons to Iran will face a 50% tariff on goods sold to the US. "There will be no exclusions or exemptions," Trump said.  End
