Senate Votes on Russia-Iran Sanctions | Europe News
Description
The Senate gears up for a pivotal vote on the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 — a sweeping bill designed to cripple Russia’s war machine and block Iran’s nuclear ambitions, with potential 100% tariffs on top Russian energy buyers. Passed amid solemn tribute to slain Senator Graham, who championed Ukraine, the bill sparks debate as some Democrats warn it could empower Trump to impose damaging tariffs. Still, bipartisan momentum pushes forward, targeting key importers and sanctions evaders — a move that could reshape global energy markets and intensify pressure on both nations.
