House Passes Sweeping Russia and Iran Sanctions Act Named for Lindsey Graham
The House approved the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 in a 262 to 159 vote, sending the sweeping economic package to President Donald Trump. The legislation mandates penalties on Moscow's financial system and dark-fleet shipping while granting broad authority to levy tariffs of up to 100 percent on top buyers of Russian oil and gas. Democratic leaders fought the measure over concerns regarding unchecked presidential tariff authority, but dozens of defectors helped secure final passage before the pre-election recess.
