The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The Senate passed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 in an 86-11 vote, sending it to the House. The bill targets Russian officials, oligarchs, banks, state-owned companies and shadow-fleet vessels, with additional sanctions tied to Iran. It authorizes President Donald Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on goods from the five largest importers of Russian oil and gas, aiming at Moscow’s war revenue. The legislation was championed by Graham, R-S.C., before his sudden death last month.
