Lindsey Graham Russia‑Iran Sanctions Bill Advances in US Senate

The U.S. Senate voted 86‑12 in a procedural motion to advance a sweeping sanctions package targeting Russia’s energy revenues. The legislation, named the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, imposes sanctions on Russian officials, oligarchs, banks and vessels used to evade restrictions, and extends the Iran Sanctions Act through 2031. It also grants President Donald Trump authority to levy up to 100 % tariffs on goods from the five largest foreign buyers of Russian oil and gas – primarily China, India and other major importers – and up to a 500 % tariff on all Russian imports into the United States. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy watched the vote from the Capitol gallery, underscoring the bill’s symbolic support for Ukraine. While the Senate cleared the first hurdle, the House of Representatives is on recess and cannot consider the measure until it reconvenes in September, delaying any final enactment. President Trump has urged the addition of Iran‑related tariffs, adding a further political dimension to the bill’s passage.
