US-Iran war LIVE Updates: Trump’s UN speech to focus on Iran, Gaza peace plan, envoy Mike Waltz says
US-Iran war LIVE Updates: US President Donald Trump signed the Lindsey O Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 into law, expanding sanctions and tariffs on Russia while extending existing sanctions on Iran.
President Donald Trump will address the United Nations General Assembly next week, according to US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz. His speech is expected to focus on his administration's approach to major international conflicts, including those with Iran and Gaza. The US President is also anticipated to participate in a multilateral meeting with leaders from six Persian Gulf Arab states.
The Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, signed by Trump on Friday, extends existing sanctions on Iran until 2031, maintaining key authorities against Tehran. This legislation does not establish a new sanctions regime for Iran, but rather prolongs existing powers that permit Washington to target foreign companies and individuals involved in certain dealings with Iran's energy sector.
