Title 3— Executive Order 13902 of January 10, 2020
The President Imposing Sanctions With Respect to Additional Sectors 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 Emer-
gencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), section 212(f) of the Immigration
and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title
3, United States Code,
I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find
that Iran continues to be the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and
that Iran has threatened United States military assets and civilians through
the use of military force and support to Iranian-backed militia groups. It
remains the policy of the United States to deny Iran all paths to a nuclear
weapon and intercontinental ballistic missiles, and to counter the totality
of Iran’s malign influence in the region. In furtherance of these objectives,
it is the policy of the United States to deny the Iranian government revenues,
including revenues derived from the export of products from key sectors
of Iran’s economy, that may be used to fund and support its nuclear program,
missile development, terrorism and terrorist proxy networks, and malign
regional influence.
In light of these findings and in order to take further steps with respect
to the national emergency declared in Executive Order 12957 of March
15, 1995, I hereby order:
Section 1. (a) All property and interests in property that are in the United
States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter

of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State:
(i) to operate in the construction, mining, manufacturing, or textiles sectors
of the Iranian economy, or any other sector of the Iranian economy as
may be determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation
with the Secretary of State;
(ii) to have knowingly engaged, on or after the date of this order, in
a significant transaction for the sale, supply, or transfer to or from Iran

Iranian economy specified in, or determined by the Secretary of the Treas-
ury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, pursuant to, subsection
