Ronald Reagan actually said...

"I have directed the Secretaries of Treasury and State to take action to place an embargo on all U.S. imports from Iran."

"In Thomas Jefferson's words, the States are 'the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns and the surest bulwarks against anti-republican tendencies.'"

"When national standards are required, consult with appropriate officials and organizations representing the States in developing those standards."

"These measures will remain in place so long as Iran persists in its aggressive disregard for the most fundamental norms of international conduct."
