Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Iran
This document is a notice renewing the national emergency with respect to Iran for one year. Originating from Executive Order 12170 (November 14, 1979) under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the renewal keeps in effect the emergency measures adopted to address what the President views as an ongoing unusual and extraordinary threat to U.S. security, foreign policy, and economy. The notice explains that Iran’s relations with the United States have not normalized and that the 1981 agreements continue to be implemented, justifying the continued emergency beyond November 14, 2025. It clarifies that this renewal is distinct from other emergencies (EO 12957, 1995, and a separate March 7, 2025 renewal) and requires publication in the Federal Register and transmission to Congress.
