# US president Donald Trump has called on Congress to add Iran to a bipartisan Russia sanctions bill. The legislation would impose 100-per cent secondary sanctions on goods originating from the top five buyers of Russian oil and natural gas, as well as target Moscow’s shadow fleet of tankers intended to evade sanctions. Earlier this month, America reimposed sanctions on Iranian oil sales in response to attacks on commercial ships near the Strait of Hormuz. This comes as the US and Iran have ramped up attacks against each other in recent weeks.
