                 Notice of March 12, 2019
                
                Continuation of the National Emergency With
                 Respect to Iran
                 On March 15, 1995, by Executive Order 12957, the
                 President declared a national emergency with respect to
                 Iran to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat
                 to the national security, foreign policy, and economy
                 of the United States constituted by the actions and
                 policies of the Government of Iran. On May 6, 1995, the
                 President issued Executive Order 12959, imposing more
                 comprehensive sanctions on Iran to further respond to
                 this threat. On August 19, 1997, the President issued
                 Executive Order 13059, consolidating and clarifying
                 those previous orders. The President took additional
                 steps pursuant to this national emergency in Executive
                 Order 13553 of September 28, 2010; Executive Order
                 13574 of May 23, 2011; Executive Order 13590 of
                 November 20, 2011; Executive Order 13599 of February 5,
                 2012; Executive Order 13606 of April 22, 2012;
                 Executive Order 13608 of May 1, 2012; Executive Order
                 13622 of July 30, 2012; Executive Order 13628 of
                 October 9, 2012; Executive Order 13645 of June 3, 2013;
                 Executive Order 13716 of January 16, 2016; and
                 Executive Order 13846 of August 6, 2018.
                 As outlined in National Security Presidential
                 Memorandum-11 of May 8, 2018 (Ceasing United States
                 Participation in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
                 and Taking Additional Action to Counter Iran's Malign
                 Influence and Deny Iran All Paths to a Nuclear Weapon),
                 the actions and policies of the Government of Iran,
                 including its proliferation and development of missiles
                 and other asymmetric and conventional weapons
                 capabilities, its network and campaign of regional
                 aggression, its support for terrorist groups, and the
                 malign activities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard
                 Corps and its surrogates continue to pose an unusual
                 and extraordinary threat to the national security,
                 foreign policy, and economy of the United States.
                 For these reasons, the national emergency declared on
                 March 15, 1995, must continue in effect beyond March
                 15, 2019. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d)
                 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I
                 am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with
                 respect to Iran declared in Executive Order 12957. The
                 emergency declared by Executive Order 12957 constitutes
                 an emergency separate from that declared on November
                 14, 1979, by Executive Order 12170, in connection with
                 the hostage crisis. This renewal, therefore, is
                 distinct from the emergency renewal of November 2018.
