The threat of substantial tariffs aims to reverse those penalties and protect American innovators.
In the Middle East, the administration has turned frozen Iranian assets into compensation for damage caused by regime‑backed attacks on international shipping, while authorizing targeted strikes on Iranian military command centers, drone storage facilities and surveillance networks to degrade threats to civilian vessels.
