President Donald Trump has called for Republicans to include Iran in the Russian sanctions bill, referencing former Senator Lindsey Graham's intentions. In a post on Truth Social, Trump suggested that adding Iran would align with Graham's previous plans. The sanctions bill would enable Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on the top five purchasers of Russian oil and gas and penalize countries that assist Russia in evading sanctions. Including Iran in this bill could intensify the economic pressure already faced by Tehran, particularly affecting China, the largest buyer of Iranian oil, which also has significant trade ties with Russia. However, Trump may be cautious about implementing tariffs due to the potential impact on oil prices amid ongoing conflicts involving Iran.
