US President Donald Trump has extended for another year the state of national emergency that provides for unilateral sanctions against Iran, APA reports.
This was stated in a statement by Trump published in the US government's Federal Register.
The statement noted that relations between the United States and Iran have not yet normalized and that the process of implementing the Algiers Accords, signed on January 19, 1981, is ongoing. Those agreements led to the release of American diplomats who had been held hostage in Tehran for more than a year following the 1979 revolution.
Trump stated that, for this reason, the state of national emergency declared on November 14, 1979, and the measures imposed against Iran at that time must remain in effect beyond November 14, 2026.
Note that former US President Jimmy Carter signed Executive Order 12170 on November 14, 1979, in response to the hostage-taking of Americans in Tehran. Under the order, all official Iranian assets in the United States, including bank accounts, were ordered to be frozen.
On April 7, 1980, Carter severed diplomatic relations with Tehran and banned the export of all products to Iran, including food and medicine. Subsequently, the United States also imposed an embargo on imports of goods from Iran and banned Americans from traveling to Iran.
