President Donald Trump has indicated a possible sanctions package targeting Iran and Hezbollah as a tribute to the late Senator Lindsey Graham, according to a report by journalist Gili Cohen. The package would be an addition to the Russia sanctions bill that Graham had proposed before his death.
The report comes on the same day that The Zioneer reported Trump is advancing the Russia sanctions bill, which Graham's sister Darlene is set to oversee in the Senate. The new Iran-Hezbollah package would mark a further honor for Graham, who was a strong advocate for sanctions against Iran and Hezbollah.
The report is based on a single source and has not been independently confirmed. No details have been provided on the scope or timing of the potential sanctions package.
