US senators pass Russia sanctions
The article discusses the efforts of the United States to cut off illicit funding sources that Iran relies on. This is through the approval by the Senate of a bill that imposes new sanctions. The law aims to impose tariffs of up to 100% on the five largest buyers of Russian energy resources, and a 500% surcharge on all imports from Russia, with exemptions for countries whose purchases of Russian exports account for less than 15%. The sanctions also target certain banks, in an effort to pressure Iran and reduce its funding sources. The bill was passed with a wide majority before the summer recess and is now awaiting a vote in the House of Representatives. Its goal is to reduce the revenue Iran depends on to finance activities that threaten regional and international security.
