White House unveils tougher Iran oil curbs - FT.com

The Obama administration issued new rules surrounding sanctions on Iran that could make it much harder for China and other countries to increase or even maintain their current purchases of Iranian oil.
Under the new rules unveiled on Tuesday, the US will have the power to impose sanctions on any commercial banks handling Iranian imports if the country they belong to has not “significantly reduced” the volume of oil it imports from Iran before the end of June.
