US Renews Certain Iran Sanctions

The U.S. is continuing its national emergency and sanctions against Iran, the White House said Nov. 12. The extension, which will continue the sanctions for one year beyond the anniversary date of Nov. 14, renews an executive order that blocked Iranian government property. The original executive order was declared in 1979. The U.S. renewed the national emergency because its relations “have not yet normalized,” the White House said.
