The United States Senate has approved a sanctions package that targets Russia and Iran, potentially affecting oil imports from those countries. According to the Times of India, the new bill could impose a tariff on Indian imports of oil from Russia and Iran.
The measure, passed on Thursday, focuses on cutting energy revenue streams for the two nations and includes provisions that could trigger tariff actions against countries that purchase their oil. The Senate’s approval follows a broader U.S. effort to curb Russian financing of its war in Ukraine, as reported by the New York Times, Washington Post, and Euronews.
The sanctions are part of a sustained U.S. strategy to restrict Russian and Iranian financial resources amid geopolitical tensions, and India’s reliance on Russian and Iranian oil makes it a possible beneficiary of the new tariffs.
