U.S. Senate moves forward with bipartisan legislation to impose new sanctions on Russia and extend existing sanctions against Iran.

A bipartisan group of U.S. Senators announced an agreement to advance legislation, named the "Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026," which would impose primary and secondary sanctions against Russia and those supporting its war in Ukraine. The bill also includes provisions to extend U.S. sanctions authority restricting funding for Iran's energy and weapons sectors until 2031.
