U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to the global trading system, signaling a 25% tariff on any country that continues commercial ties with Iran. The threat, described by Trump as “final,” has sent ripples through international markets despite the absence of a formal executive order or legal framework. Washington has indicated that trade penalties could be imposed immediately on nations doing business with Tehran, even as questions mount over how such a policy would be enforced. Analysts note that the economic burden of the proposed tariffs would largely fall on U.S. importers, given Iran’s long-standing status under international sanctions. WATCH

Japan has been struck by another strong earthquake — a 6.9-magnitude tremor hitting the same Pacific coastal region shaken by Monday’s 7.5 mega-quake. The new quake triggered a tsunami advisory, warning of 1-meter waves across Hokkaido, Aomori, Iwate, and Miyagi, leading to widespread evacuations before the alert was lifted two hours later.

A magnitude 5.7 earthquake has struck off the east coast of Honshu, Japan — just days after a much stronger 7.6 quake rattled the region. Seismic officials confirm the offshore tremor hit near Kuji, an area known for powerful quakes and tsunami history. No tsunami alert has been issued, but the quake has reignited fears that the Pacific Ring of Fire — the world’s most active seismic belt — is showing increased activity.

A powerful 7.5 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Aomori, Japan, has triggered a historic and terrifying warning. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has issued a rare "Megaquake Advisory" for the Hokkaido–Sanriku coast, the first of its kind for this region. Officials are urging the public to prepare for a temporarily heightened risk of a devastating Magnitude 8.0 or greater earthquake within the next week. While the immediate chance is statistically low (around 1% probability), the danger of a subsequent, catastrophic event is now "higher than normal," putting coastal communities on edge.
