Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act
The Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act is a bill introduced by United States Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. It proposes tariffs of up to 100 percent on goods from countries that purchase Russian energy products, along with secondary sanctions targeting third countries that assist Russia's defense-industrial base and cooperate with Iran's weapons programmes. The legislation was signed into law by President Donald Trump in 2025 as part of a broader sanctions package aimed at pressuring Moscow over its war against Ukraine.
