U.S. president Trump said he wants Congress to add tariffs on Iran to the Russia sanctions bill

President Trump requested that Congress add tariffs on Iran to the Russia sanctions bill championed by the late Sen. Lindsey Graham. This proposal signals a sustained economic pressure strategy, potentially reducing U.S.-Iran reconciliation prospects by 2026. While Democrats largely support the legislation, they have raised concerns regarding the expansive tariff powers requested. These new demands may complicate the legislative path as the bill heads toward a vote in the House of Representatives.
