The U.S. Senate overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan bill to increase sanctions on Russia and Iran by a vote of 98-2.  The measure would impose mandatory sanctions on people involved in Iran's ballistic missile program and those who do business with them.  The bill would also apply terrorism sanctions on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and enforce an arms embargo. Separately, the bill targets Russia with new sanctions and codifies executive orders signed by former President Barack Obama in response to the 2014 annexation of Crimea and Russian support for seperatists operating in Eastern Ukraine. The legislation now moves to the House of Representatives.
