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,
[[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 this
order, a foreign country directly or indirectly
purchases, imports, or otherwise acquires any goods or
services from Iran. After the Secretary of Commerce
finds that a foreign country directly or indirectly
purchases, imports, or otherwise acquires any goods or
services from Iran, the Secretary of Commerce shall
inform the Secretary of State of his finding, including
any information relevant to that finding.
(ii) The Secretary of Commerce may issue rules, regulations, and guidance
necessary or appropriate to implement this order. The Secretary of Commerce
may also make any other determinations or take any other actions necessary
or appropriate to implement this order.
(c)(i) After the Secretary of Commerce makes an
affirmative finding pursuant to subsection (b)(i) of
this section and informs the Secretary of State of his
finding, the Secretary of State, in consultation with
the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of
Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the
United States Trade Representative, shall determine
whether and to what extent an additional ad valorem
rate of duty should be imposed on goods that are
products of the foreign country found to directly or
indirectly purchase, import, or otherwise acquire goods
or services from Iran.
(ii) If the Secretary of State determines that an additional ad valorem
rate of duty should be imposed on goods that are products of the country
found to directly or indirectly purchase, import, or otherwise acquire
goods or services from Iran, the Secretary of State shall inform me of his
recommendation, and the Secretary of Commerce shall inform me of his
finding related to that recommendation. I will then consider the
recommendation and finding, among other relevant things, in determining
whether and to what extent to impose an additional ad valorem rate of duty
on goods that are products of the country in question.
(iii) The Secretary of State may issue rules, regulations, and guidance
necessary or appropriate to implement this order. The Secretary of State
may also make any other determinations or take any other actions necessary
or appropriate to implement this order.
Sec. 3. Modification Authority. (a) To ensure that the
national emergency described in section 1 of this order
is dealt with, I may modify this order, including in
light of additional information, recommendations from
senior officials, or changed circumstances.
(b) Should a foreign country retaliate against the
United States in response to this order or any action
taken pursuant to this order, I may modify this order
or actions taken pursuant to this order to ensure the
efficacy of this order and the actions taken pursuant
to this order to deal with the national emergency
described in section 1 of this order.
(c) Should the Government of Iran or a foreign
country affected by this order take significant steps
to address the national emergency described in section
1 of this order and align sufficiently with the United
States on national security, foreign policy, and
economic matters, I may modify this order.
[[Page 6495]]
Sec. 4. Monitoring and Recommendations. (a) The
Secretary of State, in consultation with any senior
official the Secretary of State deems appropriate,
shall monitor the circumstances involving the national
emergency described in section 1 of this order. The
Secretary of State shall inform me of any circumstance
that, in his opinion, might indicate the need for
further Presidential action.
(b) The Secretary of State, in consultation with
the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of
Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the
United States Trade Representative, and any other
senior official the Secretary of State deems
appropriate, shall recommend to me additional action,
if necessary, if the actions in this order or taken
pursuant to this order are not effective in dealing
with the national emergency described in section 1 of
this order.
(c) The Secretary of Commerce shall monitor whether
a foreign country directly or indirectly purchases,
imports, or otherwise acquires any goods or services
from Iran. The Secretary of Commerce shall continue
such monitoring after a foreign country has been found
to do so.
Sec. 5. Delegation. Consistent with applicable law, the
Secretary of State, the Secretary of Commerce, and the
United States Trade Representative are directed and
authorized to take all actions necessary to implement
and effectuate this order--including through temporary
suspension or amendment of regulations or through
notices in the Federal Register and by adopting rules,
regulations, or guidance--and to employ all powers
granted to the President, including by IEEPA, as may be
necessary to implement this order. The head of each
executive department and agency (agency) is authorized
to and shall take all appropriate measures within the
agency's authority to implement this order. The head of
each agency may, consistent with applicable law,
including section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
redelegate the authority to take such appropriate
measures within the agency.
Sec. 6. Definitions. For the purposes of this order:
(a) The term ``goods or services from Iran'' shall
be construed consistent with 31 CFR 560.306, and the
term shall include only goods or services for which
United States persons are prohibited from trading in
with respect to Iran.
(b) The term ``indirectly'' includes purchases,
imports, or other acquisitions of Iranian goods and
services through intermediaries or third countries
where the origin of the good or service can reasonably
be traced to Iran, as determined by the Secretary of
Commerce.
(c) The term ``Iran'' means the Islamic Republic of
Iran, its territory, and any other territory or marine
area, including the exclusive economic zone and
continental shelf, over which the Government of Iran
claims sovereignty, sovereign rights, or jurisdiction,
provided that the Government of Iran exercises partial
or total de facto control over the area or derives a
benefit from economic activity in the area pursuant to
international arrangements.
(d) The term ``Government of Iran'' includes the
Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, any
political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality
thereof, including the Central Bank of Iran and the
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and any person owned
or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, the
Government of Iran.
Sec. 7. Effective Date. This order is effective at
12:01 a.m. eastern standard time on February 7, 2026.
Sec. 8. Severability. If any provision of this order or
the application of any provision of this order to any
individual or circumstance is held to be invalid, the
remainder of this order and the application of its
provisions to any other individuals or circumstances
shall not be affected. If the action in this order or
any action taken pursuant to this order is held
invalid, the other actions imposed to deal with the
national emergencies declared
[[Page 6496]]
with respect to the Government of Iran shall not be
affected and shall remain in effect.

shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.
(d) The costs for publication of this order shall
