Trump Warns of 25% Tariffs for Countries Trading With Iran

In a move that could hit big economies, President Donald Trump said that countries doing business with Iran will be subject to a 25% tariff on imports, effective immediately.

The announcement comes a day after Trump said that he was considering military operations in Iran and warned the Islamic Republic was starting to cross his threshold for intervention as the death toll from an intensifying crackdown on nationwide protests rises.

The warning comes a little more than a week after the US launched strikes on Caracas and captured Venezuelan strongman leader Nicolás Maduro, an audacious move that served as a reminder of Trump’s willingness to use American military power to achieve his foreign policy goals.

However, data shows that more than 100 countries have traded with Iran on some level in the first half of 2025 and could be affected.

China, Turkey, Pakistan and India were among Iran’s largest trading partners, the data showed.

Trump Raises Risk Of Derailing Trade Talks With China

The threat of 25% tariffs has raised the risk of derailing the US’s fragile trade deal with China, Iran’s largest trading partner.

In response to Trump’s tariff threat, China said it “firmly opposes any illicit unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction,” while warning that it would take “all necessary measures” to defend its interests, according to a post on X by a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in the U.S.

A move towards an increase could be a massive escalation from current tariff levels, easily spiraling into fresh rounds of tit-for-tat escalation, not to mention dashing hopes of US soybean exports to China.

Crypto markets reacted with caution, as geopolitical tensions often fuel volatility. Bitcoin held near $92,000 but faces short-term downside risks from risk-off sentiment, while long-term it could benefit as a hedge against trade disruptions and sanctions evasion in affected regions. Global oil prices edged higher on supply concerns.

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC  to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly.  Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet.  Advertisement &nbsp Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…
