Trump calls for Iran to be added to Russia sanctions bill
Trump said adding Iran would honor Lindsey Graham and strengthen the bill with tougher secondary sanctions on countries buying Russian energy.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump urged Republicans to include Iran in the Russian Sanctions Bill via Truth Social, arguing the addition honors the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
- Introduced in April 2025, the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025 now has enough support to clear a Senate filibuster and would enable 100% secondary tariffs on countries purchasing Russian energy resources, according to Axios.
- Amid escalating regional conflict, Washington has conducted bombing campaigns against Iran for eight straight nights. Tehran responded with retaliatory strikes against US allies in the Middle East, including Qatar and Kuwait.
- Trump stated he "couldn't care less" about the June memorandum of understanding on Saturday, pivoting instead to reinforcing sanctions on Iran's oil trade as part of aggressive economic containment.
- Integrating Iran into the bill would solidify a bipartisan sanctions framework difficult for future administrations to dismantle, invoking the legacy of Senator Lindsey Graham and his unfinished agenda.
