A 262-159 vote in the US House of Representatives cleared the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 for the president's signature on September 16. The legislation grants the president authority to impose tariffs of up to 100% on the 5 largest buyers of Russian energy products and targets Russia's shadow fleet. The act also extends the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 through 2031 and moves to President Donald Trump for signature.

India's foreign ministry noted the passage of the bill and affirmed a commitment to securing energy supplies for its citizens. Officials stated the country will maintain diversified sourcing to ensure energy security and respond to market dynamics. The House's final vote followed a procedural hurdle on September 15 that passed 214-211 with the support of Democrats Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.
