Trump agrees to sanctions and tariff relief for Iran after ceasefire

Trump said on Truth Social that the United States would now work closely with Iran after what he called a “very productive” regime change.

He said there would be no uranium enrichment, and added that the US would work with Iran to dig up and remove deeply buried nuclear material he described as “nuclear dust” from the B-2 bomber strikes.

He also said the sites had been under tight satellite surveillance by Space Force and claimed nothing had been moved since the date of the attack.

Trump added that Washington was now discussing tariff relief and sanctions relief with Iran, and said many of the 15 points had already been agreed.

Later, Trump escalated pressure on Iran’s military suppliers. He said any country that supplies military weapons to Iran would face an immediate 50% US tariff on all goods sold into the United States, with no exclusions and no exemptions.

Tuesday’s pause gives both sides room to try to turn the temporary halt into something longer. Delegations from the US and Iran are expected to meet in Islamabad on Friday as they work toward a broader deal to end a six-week war that has killed thousands and helped trigger a global energy crisis.

At the same time, Iran is said to be finishing a joint maritime protocol with Oman that would formalize coordinated control of tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

That matters because it could turn Iran’s role in managing one of the world’s most important oil routes into a standing bilateral arrangement.

If the truce holds and the strait fully reopens, the wider economic hit may stay contained. In that case, central banks could return to the policy paths they were following before the war, while market focus may start shifting away from inflation and back toward growth if commodity prices cool fast.
