                Notice of November 12, 2020

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Iran

                On November 14, 1979, by 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, 
                2020. 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, 2020.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                and transmitted to the Congress.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    November 12, 2020.
