Iran knows how to pull the strings it holds over the oil-thirsty puppets of the West.
In response to the threat of the US pursuing sanctions against Iran because of its nuclear development program, Iran’s Foreign Relations Vice Minister Manuchehr Mohammadi said, “The first consequence of these sanctions would be an increase in the price of oil to around $200 per barrel.”
That would equate to about $6 or more per gallon of gasoline, which would sure put a big dent in the US and world economy.

Do you really believe China and Russia will let that happen? NOT! They will defend their own oil and national intrests first.
Russia puts out at least as much oil as saudi arabia. It has nothing to worry about. China might…but it sure has a lot of oil deals going these days with Iran and African nations. But yea I’d definitely see China as the fly in the ointment in any meaningful attempt to impose sanctions.
