Presidential Determination 2026-13

Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section 1245(d)(4)(B) and (C) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012

In simple terms

The President determined that global petroleum supplies from non-Iranian sources remain sufficient to allow countries to significantly reduce Iranian oil purchases without causing supply disruptions. This continues a long-standing sanctions mechanism that restricts foreign financial institutions from processing Iranian oil transactions. The determination maintains existing policy rather than introducing new restrictions.
