  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has signed the “Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026,” extending existing US sanctions on Iran to 2031 and broadening restrictions on Russia. The legislation, officially H.R. 5334, authorizes and expands sanctions, tariffs, and prohibitions against Russia while prolonging Iran sanctions that had previously expired in 2026. Iran has labeled these harsher sanctions as \"economic terrorism.\" The act is named after deceased Senator Lindsey Graham, a vocal advocate for the US-Israeli war on Iran and Israel's ongoing conflict in Gaza.",
