US President Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump in a message to the congress extended national emergency with Iran in place since the 1979 Islamic Revolution which toppled the US protege regime of Pahlavi.

Iran Press/America: "Our relations with Iran have not yet normalized, and the process of implementing the agreements with Iran, dated January 19, 1981, is ongoing," he wrote in a formal notice published by the White House on Wednesday.

The Iran emergency expires on November 14, but Trump and previous US presidents have extended it uninterruptedly turning it to the oldest existing emergency.

 It was necessary to continue the national emergency declared in Executive Order 12170 with respect to Iran in effect beyond November 14, 2019, he said.

The state of emergency gives the US chief executives extraordinary powers to bypass the Constitution and the congress.
