SENATE PASSES SANCTIONS BILL TARGETING RUSSIA AND IRAN

The US Senate has passed a sanctions bill targeting Russia and Iran, according to NYT > Top Stories. This legislation was championed by the late Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican. The bill's passage comes after Senator Graham's sudden death last month, which helped spur quick action on the legislation.

The bill is described as 'sweeping' by PBS, and is seen as a win for Ukraine supporters, according to The Washington Post. The passage of the bill may have implications for countries that trade with Russia and Iran, with India potentially facing tariffs over its oil imports from these countries, as reported by the Times of India.

The background and motivations behind the sanctions bill are not fully detailed in the available sources, but it is clear that the bill is intended to target Russia and Iran, and has been a long-awaited development for supporters of Ukraine.
