Official record excerpt
( printed page 6493) 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, ( printed 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

How to use this page
This is a source-record entry, not a truth-rating by itself. It preserves the action, date and original government publication so it can be connected to later claims, implementation records, court decisions, costs and measurable outcomes. Editorial claim reviews on this site use separate finding labels and explain the evidence for those findings.
