U.S. senators have included financial sanctions against Iran in a bipartisan bill against Russia. The document maintains broad sanctions against Russia in connection with its war in Ukraine, while adding provisions to extend the Iran sanctions law. This was reported by "Radio Svoboda" correspondent in Washington, Alex Raufoglu, on social media platform X, as reported by UNN.
U.S. senators have amended a bipartisan bill on sanctions against Russia, expanding its scope to include Iran and renaming it the "Lindsey O. Graham Sanctions Against Russia and Iran Act of 2026." The revised bill maintains broad sanctions against Russia in connection with its war in Ukraine, while adding provisions to extend the 1996 Iran Sanctions Act
The document also leaves the basic structure of sanctions against Russia, including secondary tariffs and financial restrictions, virtually unchanged.
Recall
The U.S. Senate has introduced an updated version of the sanctions bill against Russia, which provides for tariffs of up to 100% instead of 500%. The document is supported by about 60 senators and allows President Trump to temporarily suspend sanctions.
