                 Executive Order 14382 of February 6, 2026
                
                Addressing Threats to the United States by the
                 Government of Iran
                 By the authority vested in me as President by the
                 Constitution and the laws of the United States of
                 America, including the International Emergency Economic
                 Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the
                 National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.),
                 section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19
                 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States
                 Code, I hereby determine and order:
                 Section 1. Background. Executive Order 12957 of March
                 15, 1995 (Prohibiting Certain Transactions With Respect
                 to the Development of Iranian Petroleum Resources),
                 found that the actions and policies of the Government
                 of Iran constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat
                 to the national security, foreign policy, and economy
                 of the United States and declared a national emergency
                 to deal with that threat. Numerous subsequent Executive
                 Orders--including Executive Order 13059 of August 19,
                 1997 (Prohibiting Certain Transactions With Respect to
                 Iran); Executive Order 13590 of November 20, 2011
                 (Authorizing the Imposition of Certain Sanctions With
                 Respect to the Provision of Goods, Services,
                 Technology, or Support for Iran's Energy and
                 Petrochemical Sectors); Executive Order 13622 of July
                 30, 2012 (Authorizing Additional Sanctions With Respect
                 to Iran); Executive Order 13902 of January 10, 2020
                 (Imposing Sanctions With Respect to Additional Sectors
                 of Iran); and others--have further described the threat
                 posed by the Government of Iran and taken additional
                 action to deal with the national emergency declared in
                 Executive Order 12957. For example, Executive Order
                 13553 of September 28, 2010 (Blocking Property of
                 Certain Persons With Respect to Serious Human Rights
                 Abuses by the Government of Iran and Taking Certain
                 Other Actions), took additional steps with respect to
                 the national emergency declared in Executive Order
                 12957, including authorizing the blocking of property
                 to address serious human rights abuses against persons
                 in Iran. Executive Order 13846 of August 6, 2018
                 (Reimposing Certain Sanctions With Respect to Iran),
                 also took additional steps with respect to the national
                 emergency declared in Executive Order 12957, including
                 imposing sanctions to advance the goal of applying
                 financial pressure on the Iranian regime in pursuit of
                 a comprehensive and lasting solution to the full range
                 of the threats posed by the Government of Iran.
                 I have received additional information from various
                 senior officials on, among other things, the actions
                 and policies of the Government of Iran, including the
                 circumstances related to the national emergency
                 declared in Executive Order 12957 and expanded on in
                 subsequent orders. After considering this additional
                 information, among other things, I find that the
                 national emergency declared in Executive Order 12957
                 and further described in subsequent orders continues
                 and that the actions and policies of the Government of
                 Iran continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary
                 threat, which has its source in whole or substantial
                 part outside the United States, to the national
                 security, foreign policy, and economy of the United
                 States.
                 To deal with the national emergency described in
                 Executive Order 12957 and subsequent orders, I
                 determine that it is necessary and appropriate to
                 impose an additional ad valorem duty on imports of
                 articles that are products of foreign countries that
                 directly or indirectly purchase, import, or otherwise
                 acquire any goods or services from Iran. In my
                 judgment,
                [[Page 6494]]
                 the tariff regime, as described below, in addition to
                 maintaining the other measures taken to address the
                 national emergency described in Executive Order 12957
                 and subsequent orders, will more effectively deal with
                 the national emergency described in those orders.
                 Sec. 2. Imposition of Tariffs. (a) Beginning on the
                 effective date of this order, an additional ad valorem
                 rate of duty--for example, 25 percent--may be imposed
                 on goods imported into the United States that are
                 products of any country that directly or indirectly
                 purchases, imports, or otherwise acquires any goods or
                 services from Iran, in accordance with subsections (b)
                 and (c) of this section.
                 (b)(i) The Secretary of Commerce, in consultation
                 with the Secretary of State and any senior official the
                 Secretary of Commerce deems appropriate, shall
                 determine whether, after the effective date of this
                 order, a foreign country directly or indirectly
                 purchases, imports, or otherwise acquires any goods or
                 services from Iran. After the Secretary of Commerce
                 finds that a foreign country directly or indirectly
                 purchases, imports, or otherwise acquires any goods or
                 services from Iran, the Secretary of Commerce shall
                 inform the Secretary of State of his finding, including
                 any information relevant to that finding.
                (ii) The Secretary of Commerce may issue rules, regulations, and guidance
                necessary or appropriate to implement this order. The Secretary of Commerce
                may also make any other determinations or take any other actions necessary
                or appropriate to implement this order.
                 (c)(i) After the Secretary of Commerce makes an
                 affirmative finding pursuant to subsection (b)(i) of
                 this section and informs the Secretary of State of his
                 finding, the Secretary of State, in consultation with
                 the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of
                 Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the
                 United States Trade Representative, shall determine
                 whether and to what extent an additional ad valorem
                 rate of duty should be imposed on goods that are
                 products of the foreign country found to directly or
                 indirectly purchase, import, or otherwise acquire goods
                 or services from Iran.
                (ii) If the Secretary of State determines that an additional ad valorem
                rate of duty should be imposed on goods that are products of the country
                found to directly or indirectly purchase, import, or otherwise acquire
                goods or services from Iran, the Secretary of State shall inform me of his
                recommendation, and the Secretary of Commerce shall inform me of his
                finding related to that recommendation. I will then consider the
                recommendation and finding, among other relevant things, in determining
                whether and to what extent to impose an additional ad valorem rate of duty
                on goods that are products of the country in question.
                (iii) The Secretary of State may issue rules, regulations, and guidance
                necessary or appropriate to implement this order. The Secretary of State
                may also make any other determinations or take any other actions necessary
                or appropriate to implement this order.
                 Sec. 3. Modification Authority. (a) To ensure that the
                 national emergency described in section 1 of this order
                 is dealt with, I may modify this order, including in
                 light of additional information, recommendations from
                 senior officials, or changed circumstances.
                 (b) Should a foreign country retaliate against the
                 United States in response to this order or any action
                 taken pursuant to this order, I may modify this order
                 or actions taken pursuant to this order to ensure the
                 efficacy of this order and the actions taken pursuant
                 to this order to deal with the national emergency
                 described in section 1 of this order.
                 (c) Should the Government of Iran or a foreign
                 country affected by this order take significant steps
                 to address the national emergency described in section
                 1 of this order and align sufficiently with the United
                 States on national security, foreign policy, and
                 economic matters, I may modify this order.
                [[Page 6495]]
                 Sec. 4. Monitoring and Recommendations. (a) The
                 Secretary of State, in consultation with any senior
                 official the Secretary of State deems appropriate,
                 shall monitor the circumstances involving the national
                 emergency described in section 1 of this order. The
                 Secretary of State shall inform me of any circumstance
                 that, in his opinion, might indicate the need for
                 further Presidential action.
                 (b) The Secretary of State, in consultation with
                 the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of
                 Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the
                 United States Trade Representative, and any other
                 senior official the Secretary of State deems
                 appropriate, shall recommend to me additional action,
                 if necessary, if the actions in this order or taken
                 pursuant to this order are not effective in dealing
                 with the national emergency described in section 1 of
                 this order.
                 (c) The Secretary of Commerce shall monitor whether
                 a foreign country directly or indirectly purchases,
                 imports, or otherwise acquires any goods or services
                 from Iran. The Secretary of Commerce shall continue
                 such monitoring after a foreign country has been found
                 to do so.
                 Sec. 5. Delegation. Consistent with applicable law, the
                 Secretary of State, the Secretary of Commerce, and the
                 United States Trade Representative are directed and
                 authorized to take all actions necessary to implement
                 and effectuate this order--including through temporary
                 suspension or amendment of regulations or through
                 notices in the Federal Register and by adopting rules,
                 regulations, or guidance--and to employ all powers
                 granted to the President, including by IEEPA, as may be
                 necessary to implement this order. The head of each
                 executive department and agency (agency) is authorized
                 to and shall take all appropriate measures within the
                 agency's authority to implement this order. The head of
                 each agency may, consistent with applicable law,
                 including section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
                 redelegate the authority to take such appropriate
                 measures within the agency.
                 Sec. 6. Definitions. For the purposes of this order:
                 (a) The term ``goods or services from Iran'' shall
                 be construed consistent with 31 CFR 560.306, and the
                 term shall include only goods or services for which
                 United States persons are prohibited from trading in
                 with respect to Iran.
                 (b) The term ``indirectly'' includes purchases,
                 imports, or other acquisitions of Iranian goods and
                 services through intermediaries or third countries
                 where the origin of the good or service can reasonably
                 be traced to Iran, as determined by the Secretary of
                 Commerce.
                 (c) The term ``Iran'' means the Islamic Republic of
                 Iran, its territory, and any other territory or marine
                 area, including the exclusive economic zone and
                 continental shelf, over which the Government of Iran
                 claims sovereignty, sovereign rights, or jurisdiction,
                 provided that the Government of Iran exercises partial
                 or total de facto control over the area or derives a
                 benefit from economic activity in the area pursuant to
                 international arrangements.
                 (d) The term ``Government of Iran'' includes the
                 Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, any
                 political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality
                 thereof, including the Central Bank of Iran and the
                 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and any person owned
                 or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, the
                 Government of Iran.
                 Sec. 7. Effective Date. This order is effective at
                 12:01 a.m. eastern standard time on February 7, 2026.
                 Sec. 8. Severability. If any provision of this order or
                 the application of any provision of this order to any
                 individual or circumstance is held to be invalid, the
                 remainder of this order and the application of its
                 provisions to any other individuals or circumstances
                 shall not be affected. If the action in this order or
                 any action taken pursuant to this order is held
                 invalid, the other actions imposed to deal with the
                 national emergencies declared
                [[Page 6496]]
                 with respect to the Government of Iran shall not be
                 affected and shall remain in effect.
                 Sec. 9. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order
                 shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
                (i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or
                the head thereof; or
                (ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
                relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
                 (b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
                 applicable law and subject to the availability of
                 appropriations.
                 (c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
                 create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
                 enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
                 the United States, its departments, agencies, or
                 entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
                 other person.
                 (d) The costs for publication of this order shall
                 be borne by the Department of Commerce.
