美参议院通过对伊朗俄罗斯的新制裁
The U.S. Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly passed new sanctions on Iran and Russia and put a limit on the White House's ability to roll back any Russia sanctions.
美国参议院周四压倒性地通过对伊朗和俄罗斯的制裁法案，并且限制了白宫撤销对俄制裁的能力。
The new sanctions, passed by a 98-2 vote, were also so far one of the strongest U.S. congressional responses to alleged Russian meddling of the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
The new sanctions aim to impose new restrictions on Iran's ballistic missile program and to punish Tehran for "supporting terrorism and human rights violations."
As for Russia sanctions, the new sanctions target among others "those conducting malicious cyber activity on behalf of the Russian government" and "those doing business with the Russian intelligence and defense sectors," according to a press release by Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs.
The new Russia sanctions also require the White House to get a congressional review if it attempts to relax, suspend or terminate Russia sanctions.
