US President Donald Trump has once again unsettled global trade by announcing a 25 percent tariff on any country doing business with Iran. The move, aimed at intensifying pressure on Tehran, has triggered concern across major capitals, including New Delhi. China, Iran’s largest trading partner, has reacted sharply, warning that tariff wars benefit no one and vowing to protect its economic interests.

For India, the headline numbers appear worrying. Exports to Iran stood at $1.24 billion in FY25, with rice alone accounting for over $757 million—more than 61 percent of the total. However, the actual impact may be limited. India’s trade with Iran already operates under strict US Treasury and OFAC sanctions, restricting exports largely to humanitarian goods such as food and pharmaceuticals. Industry bodies say these shipments are exempt, reducing the risk of immediate disruption.
Still, uncertainty remains. Currency volatility, shipping insurance concerns, and the absence of legal clarity from Washington could affect exporter confidence. With India already facing steep US tariffs on other fronts, Trump’s latest move adds yet another layer of unpredictability to global trade.
