Trump Urges Iran Add-On to 60-Vote Russia Sanctions Bill

Summary
Trump on July 19 renewed his push for Congress to add Iran-related provisions to the bipartisan Russia sanctions bill, saying late Senator Lindsey Graham had wanted that change.
More than 60 senators already back the measure, enough to ensure passage, even as some senators have pressed for swift consideration without further amendments.
Trump has previously signaled he is ready to sign the bill, and the Senate disclosed details of its updated version earlier this week.
The latest intervention keeps Iran tied to a sanctions package centered on Russia, potentially complicating the bill's path despite broad bipartisan support.
