What happened
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.
