- Has Trump signed any executive orders on Iran in 2026?
- No. The White House presidential-actions page records zero Iran executive instruments across the entire 2026 conflict. OFAC's Iran campaign operates entirely through pre-signed frameworks — NSPM-2 (missile/drone) and EO 13902 (sectoral) — without new executive orders. sb0465 and NSPM-2 represent the entire presidential-level legal framework.Source: OFAC press release sb0465, Federal Register doc 2026-07994
- What does it mean that sb0465 was docketed in the Federal Register on time?
- The Federal Register published document 2026-07994 on 24 April 2026, three days inside the Watch For window flagged in update 78.

Background
sb0465 is the OFAC press release for the 24 April 2026 designation round targeting Iran's missile and drone supply chains under NSPM-2. The round designated 14 entities including Mahan Air aircraft EP-MTB. The Federal Register published document 2026-07994 on 24 April, three days inside the Watch For window from update 78, confirming OFAC's instrument production remains on schedule.
OFAC press releases are numbered sequentially and serve as formal public notice before Federal Register docketing. sb0465 is notable for including an aircraft tail number (EP-MTB) alongside corporate entities, suggesting OFAC now tracks specific Mahan Air assets.
The White House presidential-actions page records zero Iran executive instruments in the 2026 conflict — meaning sb0465 and NSPM-2 represent the entire presidential-level legal framework for OFAC's Iran campaign, operating through pre-signed memoranda rather than new executive orders.
