While the bill’s original goal was to impose steep tariffs on countries trading with Russia, Trump’s move—echoed last week with mentions of Hezbollah—aims to deepen pressure on Iran amid escalating U.S. military strikes following Iran’s attack on a Jordanian base. Senate aides debate whether Iran’s inclusion is already covered under existing provisions or if reopening the bill is necessary. The timing is critical, as retaliatory strikes continue for eight nights, targeting Iran’s ability to disrupt shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and hold accountable units of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The bill also seeks to make sanctions harder for future presidents to undo, all while Trump simultaneously signals stronger U.S. support for Ukraine in the ongoing Russia conflict.
