Sputnik - The Iran sanctions bill, which also contains new punitive measures against Russia, will likely not get bipartisan support in the US Congress, Legislative Affairs Director Mark Short said in a press briefing on Monday.





WASHINGTON (Sputnik)�� "We believe� the way they currently drafted the bill, neither Democrats nor Republicans will support it," Sanders stated.

However, Short noted the administration of�President Donald Trump is concerned that the Senate-drafted bill, which would sanction Moscow for�its alleged interference in�the US elections, includes no national security waivers like�other sanctions measures did in�the past.

Russia has repeatedly denied interference in�the US presidential election and called the allegations absurd.
