Trump suspended the sanctions of Graham's law / goal: to free the purchase of oil from Russia

The section related to Iran is of a different kind. In the first place, the new law did not create a completely new sanctions regime for Iran, but extended the validity of the 1996 Iran sanctions law for another five years, until 2031.

Trump suspended some of the restrictions and sanctions imposed on Iran and Russia under the Graham Act. This suspension is to allow countries to buy oil from Russia, which was banned by the Graham Act.

According to the student, in an official statement, the White House confirmed sending Trump's notification to Congress about this decision.

Trump informed Congress that these [Russia] sanctions waivers are directly in America's national interest.

Russia Sanctions Act 2026 Lindsay O. Graham is a proposed 2026 bill by Congress that would impose sanctions on Russia. This bill imposes a 500% tariff on US imports from Russia. It also allows the president to impose tariffs of up to 100% on goods from the top five importers of Russian oil and gas.

The section related to Iran is of a different kind. In the first place, the new law did not create a completely new sanctions regime for Iran, but extended the validity of the 1996 Iran sanctions law for another five years, until 2031.

Therefore, if we want to accurately evaluate the direct effect of the law on Iran, we should not use the expression "new sanctions on Iran" in the sense of creating a set that is completely independent of the previous restrictions.

Its more important effect is in consolidating and continuing the legal architecture of Iran sanctions and placing Iran in a common legislative framework with the policy of economic pressure against Russia.
