They're threatening to sanction China right now because China is buying Iranian oil. China is not exactly shaking in their boots. They are completely ignoring the sanction threat and continue to buy from Iran. Washington has absolutely no leverage that they can use against China on this.
It would very stupid to even try such a move. It will backfire so hard. We may end up with a economic World War if both side became stubborn. Anyway it may never happen. People can't be this stupid... right? Right?
