Notice of March 11, 2015

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, 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 comprehensive

sanctions on Iran to further respond to this threat. On

August 19, 1997, the President issued Executive Order

13059, consolidating and clarifying the previous

orders

e actions and policies of the

Government of Iran. On May 6, 1995, the President

issued Executive Order 12959, imposing comprehensive

sanctions on Iran to further respond to this threat. On

August 19, 1997, the President issued Executive Order

13059, consolidating and clarifying the previous

orders. I 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, and Executive

Order 13645 of June 3, 2013.

While the Joint Plan of Action (JPOA) between the

P5+1 and Iran that went into effect on January 20,

2014, and was renewed by mutual consent of the

P5+1 and Iran on July 19, 2014, and November 24,

2014, marks the first time in a decade that Iran has

agreed to and taken specific actions that stop the

advance and roll back key elements of its nuclear

program, certain actions and policies of the Government

of Iran continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary

threat to the national security, foreign policy, and

economy of the United States. For this reason, the

national emergency declared on March 15, 1995, must

continue in effect beyond March 15, 2015. Therefore, in

accordance with section 202(d) of the National

Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C

extraordinary

threat to the national security, foreign policy, and

economy of the United States. For this reason, the

national emergency declared on March 15, 1995, must

continue in effect beyond March 15, 2015. 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 in Executive Order 12957 constitutes an

emergency separate from that declared on November 14,

1979, by Executive Order 12170. This renewal,

therefore, is distinct from the emergency renewal of

November 2014.
