THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, November 8, 2018. 

Hon. PAUL D. RYAN, 

Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. SPEAKER: Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies 

Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)) provides for the automatic termination of 

a national emergency unless, within 90 days before the anniversary 

date of its declaration, the President publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress a notice stating that the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the anniversary date. In accordance with this provision, I have sent to the Federal Register for 

publication the enclosed notice stating that the national emergency 

with respect to Iran that was declared in Executive Order 12170 

of November 14, 1979, is to continue in effect beyond November 14, 

2018. 

Our relations with Iran have not yet normalized, and the process 

of implementing the agreements with Iran, dated January 19, 

1981, is ongoing. For this reason, I have determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency declared in Executive 

Order 12170 with respect to Iran. 

Sincerely, 

DONALD J. TRUMP.

NOTICE

CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO

IRAN

On November 14, 1979, in Executive Order 12170, the President 

declared a national emergency with respect to Iran pursuant to the 

International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701– 

1706) and took related steps to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy 

of the United States constituted by the situation in Iran. 

Our relations with Iran have not yet normalized, and the process 

of implementing the agreements with Iran, dated January 19, 

1981, is ongoing. For this reason, the national emergency declared 

on November 14, 1979, and the measures adopted on that date to 

deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond November 14, 2018. 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 12170. 

The emergency declared in Executive Order 12170 is distinct 

from the emergency declared in Executive Order 12957 on March 

15, 1995. This renewal, therefore, is distinct from the emergency 

renewal of March 12, 2018. 

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. 

DONALD J. TRUMP. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, November 8, 2018.
