119-HR-5334 — Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026
This bill aims to crack down on the Russian Federation through heavy economic sanctions, investment bans, and increased import duties. It also targets foreign countries and financial institutions that help Russia bypass these sanctions or buy its oil and natural gas. Additionally, the legislation extends the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 through the year 2031. Finally, it expands a tax deduction for out-of-pocket expenses to include early-childhood educators alongside K-12 teachers.
