Presidential Notice 12170

Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Iran

President Biden continues for one year the national emergency with respect to Iran originally declared by Executive Order 12170 on November 14, 1979, citing ongoing unnormalized relations and incomplete implementation of the 1981 agreements. This renewal is distinct from a separate Iran emergency declared in 1995.
