Notice of March 3, 2022
Continuation of the National Emergency With
Respect to Iran
On March 15, 1995, by Executive Order 12957, the
President declared a national emergency pursuant to the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C.
1701-1706), 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, which
revoked Executive Orders 13574, 13590, 13622, 13645,
and provisions of Executive Order 13628; Executive
Order 13846 of August 6, 2018, which revoked Executive
Orders 13716 and 13628; Executive Order 13871 of May 8,
2019; Executive Order 13876 of June 24, 2019; Executive
Order 13902 of January 10, 2020; and Executive Order
13949 of September 21, 2020.
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, 2022. 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 9,
2021.
