The Senate Passes the Russia and Iran Sanctions Bill Lindsey Graham Long Championed

After months of fits and starts, the Senate voted overwhelmingly to impose sweeping sanctions on Russia and Iran, passing a bill named for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, who spent years pushing it. The measure now heads to the House. Supporters call it the most significant economic pressure Washington has applied since the invasion of Ukraine began; skeptics question whether it arrives too late to change Moscow’s calculus.
