Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

The U.S. House of Representatives approved a sanctions bill targeting Russia and Iran, sending it to President Trump. The 262-159 vote marks a significant step in U.S. policy against Moscow and Tehran.

The legislation, named for late Sen. Lindsey Graham, authorizes tariffs on top Russian energy importers and countries aiding sanctions evasion. It also imposes sanctions on Russian officials and institutions, with Trump expected to sign the bill soon.

The bill aims to restrict Russia's war economy by targeting energy buyers and financial entities. It includes provisions to extend existing Iran sanctions and address concerns over potential tariff misuse.

Democrats opposed the bill, citing risks of Trump abusing tariff powers, while defense hawks within the party supported the measure despite the opposition.
