We currently have contracts with the Saudi, and even Venezuela.

Lastly, I know we think of ourselves as a great power, but the Russians nor China would want us to stop Iran from selling them oil. We would have to this on our own, and while we can bomb them. China and Russia may actually step into this, and tell us no you can't.
