Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026

Passed the House

The House of Representatives has passed this bill. It now moves to the Senate.

In brief

The Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 mandates visa and property-blocking sanctions on the Russian president and military commanders while banning U.S. persons from investing in Russia or purchasing its sovereign debt. The law prohibits the export of U.S. energy products to Russia, bars Russian government-affiliated securities from U.S. exchanges, and imposes 100% tariffs on countries that continue to import Russian oil or gas. Additionally, it extends the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 through 2031 and expands federal tax deductions for educator expenses to include early childhood providers. Introduced by Representative Jimmy Panetta of California, this legislation became public law in September 2026.
