HeadlineSep 18, 2026

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Wednesday to approve new sanctions on Iran and Russia. The legislation passed the Senate last month; it’s named the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, after the late South Carolina Republican Senator who was an outspoken proponent of both arming Ukraine and attacking Iran.
